Tongin Traditional Market, located in the west of Gyeongbokgung Palace, is a charming and bustling market known for its rich history and authentic Korean flavors. Visitors can explore a wide array of stalls selling fresh produce, traditional snacks, and handmade crafts while immersing themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of this cultural gem. In the middle of the Market you can find the “Coin Lunchbox Cafe” right above the Customer Center, where you exchange some money into so-called 엽전 (Yeopjeon). With those coins and your tray you simply walk through the market and choose whatever you wanna try. So if you’re like me and you can never decide what to eat, here the solution to all our problems!
