4. DADO

   Dado (Teaism) means the etiquette of drinking tea. In Korea for a long time tea has become refreshment for dispelling muddled thoughts and inducing self-discipline for those that studied and meditated. Good tea requires harmony of color, smell and taste. Only with this harmony can we enjoy real tea. That is the reason Dado is important. Dado is making good tea to drinking so it is simple to do. But this simple work our ancestor developed into an art because Dado also involves clearing one's mind. Dado involves using the right kind of heat source boiling the water making the tea and drinking the tea. Dado - the art and etiquette of Korean tea involves: Preparation for drinking tea -> Scoopful of tea -> Drawing the tea ->Serving the tea ->Drinking the tea -> Serving the second tea

   This flea market has continued at the market place from Joseon Dynasty. From miscellaneous daily supplies for common people, fashion items, groceries, antiques, and others, this is a traditional market for all. If a foreign tourist wants to see Korean old supplies, definitely they need to drop by this place. If you choose well, you can buy a good quality item in an inexpensive price.    

7. Gwang Jang Market

   Gwangjang Market is one of Korea's largest traditional markets and is renowned for its quality silk goods, linen bedding and hand-made goods. These days, the vintage clothing arcade in the market has become a very popular attraction among young people and wholesalers searching for unique vintage fashion. Gwangjang Market has over 100 years of history. The origin of the market can be traced back to the establishment of the Gwangjang Corporation in 1905 which was created with the purpose of reclaiming Korean sovereignty during the period of Japanese occupation. At that time, traditional Korean markets were only temporary marketplaces that were periodically held every few days. Gwangjang Market was the first permanently established market that was open everyday. In 1962 the market was divided into Dongdaemun Market and Gwangjang Market and modern buildings were constructed.
