Low Budget Shopping Place & Fashion District around Seoul

There are some shopping locations (streets or districts) around Seoul. Here are some of shopping locations that is low budget according to my research some details about the location of each of them.

1) Ewha Womans University


The road heading towards Ehwa Womens University is filled with stores that sell trendy and up-to-date clothes, cosmetics, bags, shoes, etc. This place is really like Women's heaven! There are several department stores, small and medium street fashion stores, hair salon, nail salon, shoes and bag shops, and many more. This area is aimed for women, so most of the stuffs that they sell are for women. Prices are affordable for local and abroad students, so it means its affordable for tourists also.

2) Myeongdong

This is a must-go place if you are in Seoul. Myeongdong is a famous fashion district. There are a lot of stores, fashion stores, cosmetics, bags, shoes, and many more. Not only for women, men apparels and stuffs are available also. The clothes, bags, shoes and fashion apparels are so trendy and up-to-date. Don't worry about the price, based on my experienced, a piece of pretty simple dress just cost you about 15,000 KRW (90 000 IDR). The price are worthy and the condition of the stuff is also in a good condition.

3) Hongdae

Hongdae is another place like Myeongdong, but the difference between Hongdae and Myeongdong is Hongdae have more teens and youngsters visitors and sellers. This means that most of the stuffs that is selled and showed there is more for teens and youngsters with affordable price for them. Dont worry, if you're not in teens or youngsters category, this place might be interesting for you to visit. The most recommendable time to visit this place is on weekends. On weekends, there will be a free market that is held by university students, where they sell their hand-made stuffs and projects. This place sold all fashionable youngster stuffs with price that is affordable for students.
