When I was still living in my old neighborhood, I was aware of this shopping mall near my place but I never visited there because of the traffic and I didn’t like it because it was crowed. And after I moved to my current place which is in the opposite direction of this shopping mall, I had a chance to visit this mall and realized it was definitely worth visiting. If I knew that it was this good, I would have visited there more often. What’s so good about this shopping mall?
First of all, they have 3 halls with so many shops and restaurants. It is such a huge shopping mall so you can spend the whole day to visit places at the mall. Mario 1 is focused on fashion trends mostly for women’s outfits. Mario 2 has a lot of sports wear with some fast food restaurants. And Mario 3 is a complex with various entertaining places like a theme park, premium restaurants and many different fashion shops.
This shopping mall is almost 20 years old so it doesn't look very new from outside. And you better not drive here because the traffic is terrible near this mall. The closest subway station is Gasan Digital Complex station on line 7 so you better take the subway.
They have so many restaurants in each hall and I liked most of the foods there. I’ve seen many bloggers recommend the restaurants in this mall.
Many goods and items are very cheap and some are even cheaper than online shopping malls. You can also go buy things at brand malls.
You can see a lot of fun places at Mario 3 such as game zone, bowling alley, book store and kids’ theme park and etc. and you can also drink at the G2 zone and the bowling alley.
If I knew about this mall earlier then I would have been there a lot since I was living nearby but now it takes me more than an hour to get there. But it’s still worth it going there if you have a chance. I just found out that Mario Outlet is Asia’s largest downtown fashion outlet with over 600 different brand shops. Doesn’t it sound tempting a bit?
