Over 90% of the guests are from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Japan, and most of them are in their twenties. Since it is within a 10-minute walk from Dongdaemun Design Plaza, most guests – particularly those who came to Korea to shop during their tour - stay there for three or four days. All the guestrooms are for two and are kept clean at all times. The guesthouse provides free luggage storage service even after the guest has checked out, which is very convenient to the shoppers. Because the guests are young, the guesthouse owner communicates with the guests through various social network services and apps.

Center Coffee (Seoul Forest) is located near Exit 5 of Seoul-forest Station (Suin–Bundang Line) in a residential district between Seongdong-gu Citizens' Sports Center and Seongsu Middle School. Note that the shop does not have its own parking lot. Because of its location in a busy city center, it is best to utilize buses, subway, and other public transportation. The cafe itself is situated on the second and third floors of a building, so it has a pleasant view. As one enters the building, one can find five blue ribbons adorning the doorway. Window seats here have a view of Seoul Forest. Signature menus include hand drip and mugwort lattes, and the menu is rounded out by beverages like espresso, cafe Americano, latte, and cappuccino.

Hwanghak-dong Flea Market (Dokkaebi Market / Manmul Market) (황학동 벼룩시장 (도깨비시장/만물시장))

11-7 Majang-ro 5-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul

Hwanghak-dong Flea Market was named after the way how merchants travel from one place to another all over the country, as if like fleas hopping around from one spot to another, to collect rare and valuable items. This market was once a haven of antiques and collectibles, but with the formation of old-fashioned art street in 1983 in Janganpyeong, many classic art shops had moved out, leaving only used item and general goods stores. Now, visitors can find stores selling antiques, used furniture, electronics, clocks, jewelry, musical instruments, camera, and machinery – pretty much anything one can name. Hwanghak-dong Flea Market is also referred to as Dokkaebbi Market, to describe how even the most rundown items become just like new, as if like the work of a dokkaebi (Korean folk goblin).
