Dongdaemun Introduction: Dongdaemun, formerly known as Heunginjimun, is the gate to the east of the Seoul City Wall. Dongdaemun, which was founded in 1905, has developed at an astonishing rate since it was designated as a clothing wholesalers street. It is said that about 30 shopping malls, more than 30,000 stores and more than 50,000 manufacturers are gathered here, making Dongdaemun a must-visit bustling business district in Seoul and one of the largest wholesale markets in Asia. Nowadays, Dongdaemun has everything from small fashionable decorations to ginseng, utensils, clothing, toys, jewelry, etc., and the prices are cheaper than elsewhere, so it is always crowded with retailers from local cities and foreign tourists. .
