Hello everybody,
It has been a long time since I write here. After I moved to South Korea during pandemic, as you may know, it has been very difficult to gather and go to the tours. Many tours were cancelled during the Pandemic and we could not be able to experience the touristic sides as we did before.
BUT! Even if you are not here in Korea, you can still visit the popular places through Zoom. With the online tours, your tour guide will take you the places you want to visit the most! I attended one of the online tours that is held each Saturday at 09:00 in Korea time. The tour has 3 days and each day you visit a different place.
The first day is JEOLDUSAN HOLY SITE.
The second day is Mangwon Market which I attended.
And the third day is MANG WON JEONG.
"Mangwon-dong has remained a popular place in Seoul for a long time, with its delicious foods, cute novelty shops, and quirky stores of Mangwon Market’s neighborhood continuing to be loved by many. Mangwon-dong, located in Mapo-gu, Seoul, is in the vicinity of Hapjeong, Sangsu and the commercial area of Hongik University as well as the Hangang River, making it a place frequented by visitors as part of their must-see tour around Seoul. Mangwon Market is ensconced in the small yet special neighborhood of Mangwon-dong surrounded by multi-family residences, and is frequented by locals due to the low prices that the merchants offer. Unique cafes and restaurants also began to pop up near the market, creating the commercial area called “Mangnidan-gil Street.”"
The tour guides will explain every detail to you while going to the place you will be seeing. I loved how they were so detailed in explaining. I felt like I am with them. It feels so good to experience the daily life with people buying food, eating and enjoying their time at the Market.
You definitely need to visit the Market. There are various different foods that you absolutely will love when you eat! My favorite is always Korean pancakes as they are also somewhat similar to Turkish breakfast pancakes which I love. And, this kind of traditional Korean markets are really unique to the country and one should absolutely try. It would be a good practice to attend this tour before your actual visit to Korea!
Your tour guide will eat these delicious food for you! :D
If you would like to attend one of these tours, just check their website for the detailed information!
