Nice place to shop. Unique layout. Must visit. Bought some nice stuff here. Also visit 3rd floor. If u are cat lovers. All bags and other items available.

Quite a highlight of Insadong, they have handicrafts from DIY, cosmetics to accessories. Halfway through the length of the mall, one of the shop is a haven for cat lovers in which they sell unique printed totes, postcards and pouches. Overall it’s a nice place to take a walk even if you do not plan to buy anything.

Lovely shopping mall made up of small boutiques offering lots of handmade products. Perfect place to find a unique souvenir to bring back home!

Local shopping and art craft stores. We liked the unique design of this place which is type of an open air shopping center. While the stores were very cute, there were many high school students who were walking around. It was nice to experience such daily atmosphere.
