Dongju Bookshop
Dongju Bookshop Overview
Dongju Bookshop is the first natural science specialty independent bookstore in Korea, focusing on science books while also covering literature and picture books. Located on the first floor of a gray building with a distinctive blue balcony, a long-necked dinosaur drawing on the glass door catches the eye. The interior features a laboratory atmosphere with gray cement walls, arched corridors, and jellyfish-shaped lights. Bookshelves arranged with turtles, glass bottles, and microscopes, along with a Post-it guestbook, offer small but delightful sights. It is a great spot to visit together with the Mural Village in Dakbatgol.
