Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) recently opened, making this area all that more impressive. This is a huge complex designed by Zaha Hadid,and is the world’s largest architectural feature of its kind. It incorporates show space, theater, memorial, ruins and archeological sites, a park, and, of course, a mall. Being surrounded by over 20 shopping malls, many of which are 24-hours, makes this a shopping paradise and a center of fashion for Seoul and Asia.

The Dongdaemun park is on a hill, might be too taxing for some.
Locals find shaded spots and exercise. Tourists linger by the wall and take photos.
On the lower portion is a nice museum that is free with extensive information about the walls history.

This is a happening place with the impressive Dongdaemun Design Plaza and the nearby shopping malls such as Doota, Migliore, apM Place. Expect the crowd especially in the evenings. However, there is a small park just behind the plaza, with many free seats with umbrella covers. It was quiet with only a few people around. A good place to rest your legs and enjoy the peace there.

Went up the hill - Hanyangdoseong trail. It's a long way up. Went to am unexpected area - where they shoot the Korean drama - Encounter (I think...). It's cool! Good view at the top!

A nice place to hang around a busy day. Well maintained park with a hill. Nice view to both old and new part of the city. Possible walk along the nearby river makes it a nice place for a weekend relaxing activity.

This just opened in March. All I wanted to see was the building thinking that it was an office building but there are museums inside and even a retail area. It was my last stop before I departed so I didn't have enough time. You must stay longer and take a look at the museums. It takes time also to just gaze at the building from different viewpoints. Be amazed at modern architecture.

A modern and beautiful park built on the historical relic of the city. Visit there both day and night to experience different colours and atmosphere. The temperature may be chilly on winter nights.

Architecture is interesting and worth seeing. There are museums, galleries for interested people. Also location is easily accessible, not far from shopping district, possible to find something to eat within complex area.
