Strolling through Myeong-dong in Seoul isn't just about crazy shopping sprees

Myeong-dong in Seoul is a chopping paradise for many, with malls and shops everywhere, easily taking up a day just wandering around. In fact, Myeong-dong is not only home to a thriving commercial scene, but also a less crowded but very enjoyable 'Animation Street' 🚇Exiting from exit 3 of Myeong-dong subway station, there's a 711 convenience store next to it, and right there is 'Comic Street'. This street isn't like Tokyo's Akihabara where every corner is filled with anime and secondary element shops; rather, the buildings along the entire street are adorned with colorful anime paintings. To put it more accurately, it's an anime-style trendy cultural district There aren't many tourists on the street, making it convenient to take photos and check in. When I visited, I even encountered a Southeast Asian TV station filming something there. Comic Street has quite a few small restaurants and cafes. They say that Koreans have coffee running through their veins, and this saying couldn't be more true; you can find cafes of all sizes throughout Seoul, and when you're tired from walking, you can pop into one for a coffee break Walking up Comic Street, you can reach Namsan, with several hiking trails leading up to Namsan Tower, where you can overlook the entire city of Seoul
