Visit Seoul: Myeongdong Night Market

Night markets are a must-experience while in South Korea.  A popular one is the Myeongdong Night Market.  The first night we attempted to go to the Myeongdong Night Market, it was raining, and just a handful of stalls were out. 

A visitors guide told us that the rain deterred a lot of the stall owners, and suggested we go to Gwangjang Market instead, since it was covered.  

The second time we went to Myeongdong Night Market, we were actually just passing through (it was so close to our hotel).  

The weather was nice, and we saw stall after stall of savory foods on a stick - lamb, sausage, rice cake, and more.  



We ended up buying a couple of sweet treats:
Mochi


Dragon Beard's Candy

The Myeongdong Night Market takes place nightly, weather permitting.  The vendors start setting it up in the later afternoon / early evening, and are out until late.
