Walking east along Cheonggyecheon Stream, which flows near Sewoon Plaza, you will see a cluster of small bookstores.
Books published 30 to 50 years ago, and various out-of-date magazines are piled up in about ten bookstores.
You can indirectly experience the old culture and history that formed the basis of K-content, and sometimes you can also find foreign books.
Nearby is Dongdaemun Market, a wholesale market selling various subsidiary materials, and Pyounghwa Market (open from night to early morning), where you can browse clothing fabrics, which are excellent places to visit together.
