4 Must-Go Underground<br />
Shopping Malls in Seoul<br />
Why shop underground when you can shop above ground? Simply for its unique<br />
experience. A perfect shelter from sudden downpours in summer days and cold<br />
winds in winter, these underground malls in Seoul, South Korea can offer you a<br />
shopping experience just as amazing as its above ground cousins. Plus, they are<br />
easily accessible as the malls are located near to public transportation. This means<br />
that you can shop comfortably till you drop (literally) without having to worry<br />
about the weather outside.<br />
Are they expensive places? Not really. These underground malls boasts a large<br />
number of shops that offer affordable yet reasonable prices than stores at famous<br />
tourist shopping locations such as Sinsadong Garosu-gil Road or Myeong-dong.<br />
Goto Mall<br />
Gangnam Terminal Underground Shopping Center,<br />
or often known as "Goto mall" in short, is linked to<br />
one of the major subway transfer stations in which<br />
Seoul subway lines 3, 7 and 9 operate. It was renovated<br />
in 2012 and houses about 600 stores; thus making it<br />
one of the largest underground shopping malls in<br />
Seoul. A well-known shopping heaven for women, it<br />
has all the latest clothing trends, accessories,<br />
cosmetics, interior products, whole sale flowers and<br />
many more. Need a fix for your growling stomach?<br />
Not a problem, there are plenty of restaurants and<br />
food courts at the end of the mall if you are feeling<br />
hungry after a shopping spree. This mall is also nearby<br />
to places of attraction such as Bangpo Bridge Rainbow<br />
Fountain, Shinsegae Department Store – Gangnam<br />
Branch and Sinsadong Garosu-gil Road.<br />
Yeongdeungpo Underground Mall<br />
The first impression you get of that long-standing hub of<br />
public transportation in Seoul, Yeongdeungpo, is that it is<br />
always crowded; with the numbers rising steadily<br />
since the opening of Times Square, a mega<br />
shopping mall, in 2009. Thus, Yeongdeungpo is<br />
truly a busy, happening hotspot! Yeongdeungpo<br />
Underground Mall offers affordable shopping<br />
products to people of all age groups with only<br />
just one catch: most of the stores here sell<br />
menswear. But due to its close proximity to<br />
Shinsegae Department Store and Times Square,<br />
both of which offer a plethora of other shopping<br />
varieties, the lack thereof in Yeongdeungpo is<br />
therefore compensated.<br />
