Dapsimni Antique Shopping Mall has been selling antiques for more than 30 years and it is relatively quiet. Pieces of antique furniture, such as the wooden floorboards from an old house, the doors of a hanok, antique drawings and porcelain pieces grab your attention for some reason. Most people think of Insadong when talking about Korean antiques, but those who are in the know consider Dapsimni Antique Shopping Mall to be the best. Most of the antique merchants here have the eye to distinguish genuine artifacts from counterfeits, the skills to fix wooden and porcelain pieces and the expertise to figure out the origins of different curios. Currently, there are about 140 stores located in this arcade, which is open
from 7am to 7pm.
