Dongdaemun ( CLICK HERE )
10 Historical and contemporary Seoul stands side by side in this eternally buzzing and
sprawling market area. A facelift to Heunginjimum (aka Dongdaemun) has left the old east
gate to the city looking grander than it has done in decades. Sections of the old Fortress
Walls that the gate was once connected to have been uncovered and form part of the Dong-
daemun History & Culture Park. Rising up behind this is the sleek, silvery form of the Zaha
Hadid-designed Dongdaemun Design Plaza, an architectural show-stopper that could
hardly be more 21st century in its conception.
