Common Ground , Coex Mall , SM Coexartium

Common Ground is a shopping mall which loaded with 200 cargo containers near Konkuk University. It launched successfully few months ago and became the World's largest Pop-up Shopping mall. The cool, unique architectural design of this mall really caught my attention. The deep blue colour of the building blended so well with the sky, I couldn't stop myself from staring at it. 

The shopping space has two main centers, " Street Market" and " Market Hall " both connected by a courtyard. 

Photo-shooting is a must do thing here ! You will get simple yet nice photos . 

Up at the rooftop of Common Ground, there are plenty of established eateries for you to try out .

Fascinating view from the rooftop .

Common Ground has high ceiling and glass windows , so it was much brighter than I expected inside the mall. 

It is rare to see a flower shop inside a shopping mall. Those flowers were pretty. Moreover, you can have a good walk at the first and second floor which mainly comprised many fashion and trendy shops and boutiques.

Tiny benches are set up for shoppers to have a rest when shopping. 

# To get here, get off at Konkuk University Subway Station (212)  exit 6, then walk straight along the road for about 400m. 

After exploring this cool and awesome place, we headed to Coex Mall. 

It is the largest underground shopping mall in Asia, containing Convention centres, exhibition halls, cinema, aquarium , muzium etc .

Ceiling decorated with "Clash of Clans" themed hot air balloonsssssss :D My friend was super excited seeing these because she is a big fan of this online game. 

Megabox Cineplax . You can experience either 3D or 4D movies here! As you can see from the picture, there is a long slide provided for visitors to play around. But, the slide was not available when we were here. My friend and I assumed that there was a big event holding , but we had no idea what was going on at the event. The cinema area was crowded with people who were queuing for something. There were also security guards who would scold you if you stepped on certain places. T_T I think the people were waiting for celebrities or well-known people to show up, perhaps? 

Daiso in COEX ! 

Next, we visited SM COEX Artium (which is located just beside COEX mall
), a multi-purpose space launched by SM Entertainment. It is a must for SM fans like me to pay a visit!
