Visit Bangsan Market, Gwangjang Market and Hiking Gear Shops in Dongdaemun

Bangsan Market is a fun area to explore to find all your baking needs, from cake decorating, to packaging. From there we will pass by Gwangjang Market, one of the oldest and largest traditional markets with stalls selling silk goods, linen bedding and other handmade goods.  It also has a few vintage clothing shops.  At the center of this huge market are several food stalls selling popular food such as Bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes), Boribap  (Rice and barley with vegetables) Eomukguk (Fish Cake Soup), Kimbap,  Kalguksu (Korean knife-cut noodle soup) and Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes).  You can pull up a stool and feast on a meal for as little as KW6,000.  We will finish in the area around Jongno 5(ga) Station where all the sporting goods stores are located, selling Korean and international branded goods.   

This is a great opportunity to catch up after the summer and renew your BASS membership (50,000 KRW for all the family) and to welcome new members to BASS. Paid members free, non-members KW10,000.  Membership term runs from Sept 1st to Aug 31st and 100% of our membership fees are donated to the charities BASS supports.

Please be on time or let us know if you are running late.
