In fact no matter which way you take from DDP, if you just follow the crowd you will eventually arrive at the night market. If you don't want to go visit the night market, you can just enjoy the beautiful DDP nightscape.

However, as you can see the place is filled with businesses and people. It is really lively, festive and worth a visit.

April in Seoul is very warm, so you don't need to wear a thick coat or a down jacket. You can come in a light, comfortable outfits and enjoy the spring night here at DDP.

On the outside of the DDP night market, there are small cultural objects, daily necessities, and more. You can start shopping here. Just keep in mind that most of them charge cash, but some of them open credit card payments. There will be a yellow sign notifying that they allow credit card payments.

However, the sizes of markets grew over the years, and food trucks exquisite menus have opened. To tell you the truth, the price is quite high.

If you look close enough there are food trucks selling good food, conveniently. There are trash cans everywhere, so you can stroll around, have some food and leave at ease.

Everyone who have visited DDP will think that there are no seats to take a rest. They have installed resting areas as well. There are open-air seats along the road, and you can also sit next to the flower beds and take some rest.

In 2019, DDP put some bean bags you can hang around.

But, the seats are too little, mostly occupied children.

Although it has been 5 years since its installation, it has extended its operation until now. However, it is different this year, and they have officially announced that it will close on April 30th, 2019.
