Seochon, where Tongin Market is located,
is a village nestling cozily in between
Gyeongbokgung Palace and Inwangsan Mountain.
The grounds of the area are alive with history where
various royalty and aristocrats once lived,
as well as the abundance of cultural assets nearby.

02

It was also considered the most scenic location
in Seoul, which served as the reason for many artists
living together in the area during the Japanese Occupation.
Currently, Seochon is one of the few downtown areas
in Seoul that retains its original form intact,
and is frequented by young people and foreign tourists
looking to relish in the ambiance of days passed.

In order to promote the attraction of lighting to the public, the Euljiro Lightway festival has been held in October every year since 2015. During this period, various lighting works embroider the Euljiro area and the Sewoon Plaza with a splendid lighting display.

02

Another attraction of Euljiro is Nogari Alley, where you can enjoy the delicious combination of draft beer and nogari (dried pollock). In the 1980s, it was the place where printing plant workers would gather to drink beer with nogari after work, eventually earning its name as Nogari Alley. Since then, the alley was selected as a Seoul Future Heritage site in 2015 and continues to emerge as a hip place on numerous social media pages.
