Foot traffic heads from Sungnyemun Gate to nearly 10,000 shops. Namdaemun Market sells about 1,700 types of goods needed in everyday life, including various clothing for children, men, and women, accessories, kitchenware, folk crafts, food, general merchandise, and agricultural and marine products. There is a saying, “If it’s not in Namdaemun Market, it’s nowhere in Seoul,” and “Namdaemun Market has everything except cat horns.” Namdaemun Market serves both wholesale and retail functions, distributing goods at affordable prices to retail merchants across Korea and attracting visitors from China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. It is also recommended to visit to enjoy foods unique to Namdaemun Market, such as oxtail soup at longtime establishments like Eunho Restaurant and Jinju House, as well as Galchi Alley, Kalguksu Alley, vegetable hotteok, chicken soup, and the Bukwon Noodle House specializing in North Korean-style cold noodles.
