    Gyeongdong Market is a big place in Dongdaemun District, Seoul. It's famous for selling herbal medicine and ginseng in South Korea. The market started in 1960. Now, it gives 70 percent of the country's herbal medicine ingredients. There are over 1,000 shops and clinics there. Gyeongdong Market is not just about medicine. It's also a big place for selling fruits, vegetables, and fish. It's really huge, about five times the size of the Seoul Sangam World Cup Stadium. We can also find cooking ingredients at the market.
