Gyeongdong Market
경동시장
An old market thick with the scent of herbal medicine, where a worn-out theater became a café.
Opened in 1960, this is Seoul's largest medicinal-herb market, said to handle about 70% of the herbs traded in the country; its lanes are lined with stalls of dried fish and mountain greens.
