A place worth knowing
Hwanghak-dong Flea Market follows the second-hand life of the city through antiques, old household objects and goods that have disappeared from ordinary shops. Its history reaches back to a postwar market and the reuse of whatever people could trade.
Browse with curiosity rather than a checklist. Stock and opening times vary between shops, so the pleasure is in looking closely and finding an object you did not expect to encounter.
