COEX
COEX Mall is one of Asia's largest underground shopping malls, located beneath the COEX convention center in Gangnam, and its best-known feature for visitors is the Starfield Library, a soaring open-plan library space with towering bookshelves that has become one of Seoul's most photographed indoor landmarks despite being inside a shopping mall. Beyond the library, COEX houses an aquarium, cinema, and a vast range of retail and dining.
It's a useful rainy-day or hot-weather option given its fully indoor, air-conditioned scale, and its direct subway connection makes it an easy stop whether or not shopping is the primary goal.
