Behind the Dongdaemun Gate! Recommended one-day trip to Changshin-dong

Uradongdaemun, located across from Dongdaemun Fashion Market, is actually an incredibly charming area.

Enjoy everything from scenery you've seen in Korean dramas, unique gourmet food you can only find there, and stylish cafes with great views!

2️⃣Naksan Fortress
While famous as a filming location for Korean dramas, it's also fascinating to think of it as part of the ancient city walls surrounding Seoul (Hanyang)! The contrast between Seoul's urban center and the small, old houses seen from the top is a must-see.
