ソウル 明洞 夜 アイキャッチ画像

[Introduction]

I traveled to Seoul, South Korea, in early September. Although I was not blessed with weather at all, I enjoyed the trip as the food was delicious and people were kind. In this article, I will write about walking around Myeong-dong in the evening as part of Day 1. As street stands started operations, Myeong-dong became more energetic in the evening compared with the daytime.

That’s it for the article about walking around Myeong-dong in the evening as part of Day 1.

Myeong-dong became more energetic in the evening, as street stands started operations. In particular, the area where several shopping malls were located was abundant in photo spots, as show windows were lighted up. If you have a chance to visit Myeong-dong, I would recommend you visit it in both the daytime and the evening 🙂

In the next article, I will write about National Museum of Korea as part of Day 2.
