Hi, I’m Tabi!
Dongdaemun-gu offers market life in Jegi-dong and Sinseol-dong. The similarly named Dongdaemun tourism district, gate and DDP are in other districts; distinguish them from this administrative area.
This guide covers places within Dongdaemun-gu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
