After the Korean Folk Village, we went back to the city to visit another shopping area. If you really want to buy cheap in Korea, the best is to buy Korean made products. Imported items are very expensive -up to 30% more for imported items especially the branded ones. According to our tour guide, Koreans are very nationalistic and they really patronize their own products.
In Insa-dong, you will find many local handicrafts and Korean stores
While walking, I saw this, it’s like a mall with more little shops. I had no time anymore to go in but there were many many people here also shopping

I just recently went to Seoul and loved Insadong. We even went there twice. Did you try going to one of the tea houses in the area?
