Dive into Seoul’s lively food and herbal medicine markets

Unlock the secrets of one of Seoul’s largest market districts: the Gyeongdong Market’s food stalls and the Yangnyeongsi district, where the true locals seek out their traditional herbal medicines and hidden treats. • Start by wandering through Yangnyeongsi, where you can experience one of Seoul’s most relaxing trends, the K-Medi Center, to learn about the history of herbal treatments and unwind by dipping your toes into a herbal footbath (or a mechanical massage in winter months). • After this moment of relaxation, get ready to dive into the bustling Gyeongdong Market, filled with rich scents and vibrant colors. I’ll share insights about essential Korean ingredients, and you’ll be able to experience seeing sesame and pepper oils being pressed first hand, and walk away with your own bottle of sesame oil. • Thread your way through the aisles where lively fruit and fish sellers might urge you to buy their goods, and then sit down at a stall to sample a proper market snack: Korean fishcake (one of Korea’s most beloved street foods)—just like you’ve seen in your favorite K-drama. By joining me on this tour, I’m sure you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the everyday life for locals in this cosmopolitan city—and if you want to pick up any of the market's most delectable souvenirs, I’m more than happy to help you converse and negotiate with merchants.
