Majang Meat Market
마장축산물시장
An alley market dealing only in meat — 781 butchers and offal shops filling the lanes of Majang-dong. Wholesale and retail sit side by side across its 26,313 square metres, and buying meat to carry into a nearby room to grill is the usual way of eating here.

Nearby
Gyeongdong Market
It closes at 18:00 and most stores shut on Sundays, so it is a morning stop, not an evening one — the opposite of the food-alley markets.
Seoul Jungang Market
A registered market strung along the lanes of Hwanghak-dong, its 124 units divided between prepared side dishes, dried fish and butchers. It is a market people shop at rather than visit, and early afternoon is its busiest hour.
Seongcheon Makguksu
A makguksu house that uses only dongchimi brine for its broth, with a high buckwheat content in the noodles.
Olympic Gymnasium, Hanyang University
The indoor hall on Hanyang University's Seoul campus, an Olympic venue in 1988 that stayed a university building afterwards. Its name is close enough to the arena in Olympic Park to be confused with it regularly.
