Changsin-dong Toy Wholesale Market is the largest toy and stationery market in Korea with over 100 stores. The market sells various toys, such as robots, dolls, kitchen sets etc, all sorts of stationery and party supplies.

Moreover, the toy market is within easy reach of Dongdaemun Fashion Street, Korea’s well-known shopping district, so it is perfect to combine visits at the same time.
The wholesale toy market consists of stores lined up on both sides of the market's access road. The stores display piles of goods on stands outside the stores ready for their customers. The market is full to bursting with toys, such as robots, dolls, kitchen sets, educational toys, self-assembly toys and so on; in other words, it is a toys’ paradise. Changsin-dong Toy Market is not only for children: adults enjoy how it brings back special memories of childhood and collectors in particular have great fun discovering hidden treasures.
