Yongsan Terminal Mall (용산터미널상가)
Many shoppers enter the Yongsan Terminal Mall through the connection between Yongsan Terminal Mall and I’PARK MALL.

The Terminal shops mostly sell computer related products.
The 1st floor hardly has any stores, so not many customers are found
there. Most stores are located from the 2nd floor to the 4th floor. Almost every product that is computer related can be found at this mall, as well as many cellular phone products sold on the 2nd and 3rd floors. |
