Namdaemun Flower Market

Flower markets are one of my favorite places to explore. The Namdaemun Flower Market has been on my mind for several months now. Many of my coworkers head out here on the weekends to pick up bouquet upon bouquet of freshly cut flowers. I finally made it out with my boyfriend this past weekend and picked up some lovely flowers!

It was a bit tricky to find, but we made it! It is located on the 3rd floor of the E-lengddang building. Here it is on the map with some photos to help!

Directions:

The easiest way to find the flower market is to head in through Gate 8 of the Namdaemun Market. Walk straight ahead from Gate 8 for about a block. You will reach a large intersection with Karl Optical on the northwest corner and a large, dingy white building on the northeast corner. Go into the white building (E-lengddang) and head up to the 3rd floor and voila!

We arrived in the early afternoon so I don't think the market was going full strength anymore. Still, there were  lots of flowers out.

These are the blossoms and greens I picked out!
