Gyeongdong Market

Tucked away in the lively eastern side of Seoul lies Gyeongdong Market, one of Korea’s oldest and most authentic traditional markets. — a chance to experience the true rhythm of everyday Korean life. Here, you'll walk through narrow alleys filled with the earthy scent of dried herbs, roots, and natural remedies. Local vendors call out with friendly voices, selling everything from ginseng and jujube to exotic teas and handmade goods. It's a sensory experience — vibrant, chaotic, and beautiful in its own way. During our visit, we’ll take a break at a cozy market tea shop and enjoy a warm cup of ssanghwa-cha (쌍화차) — a traditional Korean herbal tea that’s been enjoyed for centuries. Made from a mix of oriental herbs like cinnamon, licorice, peony root, and dates, ssanghwa-cha is known for boosting energy, relieving fatigue, and calming the body. It’s more than just tea — it’s a taste of Korean wellness culture in a cup.
