Sparkling korea: Part 2: Shopping

Factory outlets

Yeoju premium outlets

Take the subway to Express Terminal Bus station, buy a bus ticket to Yeoju on the Yeongdong line bus and get off at Yeoju Terminal. The ride takes about 1 hour and 30minutes. Cross the street and take a bus to the outlet. Almost everyone at the bus stop gets onto that bus.

The outlet is actually very small, compared to the dizzying awesomeness of America's factory outlets. Only worth it if you really want to buy branded stuff from Burberry, Coach etc, or sports stuff from Adidas, Nike etc.



Gasan Digital Complex Station

Exit from the subway station towards outlet shopping at Mario mall and Fashion Island... it's mostly korean brands, but there's some international brands too. You can get a tax refund from Mario mall if you spend above W 30,000.
