The view from the alley. Old buildings and high-rise new buildings feel disparate.

Feels like a local town

I imagined what would happen if this place was remodeled in the Hanok style.

As it is an older neighborhood, you can see buildings of various ages. The green roof building on the left also seems to have been built during the Japanese colonial period.

Some sections of the market are undergoing improvement projects.

Although much of its original form has been destroyed, you can immediately tell that this building was originally an urban hanok because of the roof.

There are also hanoks that have been remodeled like this. Due to the poor real estate market, new construction activities have plummeted. Our neighborhood is now focused on remodeling existing buildings rather than new construction, so I think now is the right time to establish a Hanok town.

Hanoks appear to be standing quietly in the alley.

The design of each market alley is different, but I don't know if it's because they remodeled at different times or because they have a specific concept. For reference, Gyeongdong Market is large in size as it is a combination of the Oriental Medicine Market, Fish Market, and Sangsa Street in the surrounding area. It should not be viewed as a typical neighborhood traditional market. There is no reason why people from Guri-Namyangju, Eunpyeong, Dobong, and Gangdong visit Gyeongdong Market.

Another look towards the skyscraper Jubok

Still, it is a landmark in the northeastern region... No matter how urgent the rental promotion is, it really falls short.

The appearance of each building is evaluated differently by each person, but it is good to see it neatly maintained. Honestly, I think Harrington Place in the middle is decent. There must be one or two buildings that are worse than that one.

The old alley next to Hanyang Sujain is said to be in the process of redevelopment. The street vendors right in front have already been demolished.

The landscaping was done well. As for the mall so far, it seems like there is a Vera store and a Samsung store and one or two stores near the station. The location is good, but honestly, considering the size and nature of the commercial district... it would be a good thing if they didn't open a Boshintang restaurant.

This time, a Hanok village was selected inside the herbal medicine market behind Jegi-dong Station, and the district office also provided services to make Gyeongdong Market look nice. (The word "Hanok town" was included in the picture I saw in a circulating meme, but the district mayor did not mention it directly, so I just watched for now. Middle) Fortunately, they didn't say that we need to build apartments because we need redevelopment. There is a newly built villa inside the alley, but I think at least the main street of the market and some areas should be built separately in the Hanok style. There are Kyung Hee University, Korea University, Foreign Studies University, and City University nearby, so it would be better to connect with a university.
