Hwangnam Bread Main Store (Hwangnamppang) 황남빵 본점
Gyeongju · Daereungwon, Hwangnidan-gil & Downtown · Shopping
The shop that made the red-bean-filled Hwangnam pastry a symbol of the city sells it warm from the oven, either singly or in gift boxes. The single piece is the best way to taste it: a thin, soft shell around sweet bean paste, not too heavy. Buy a box on the last day for friends back home.
Afternoon lines can be long, so go in the morning if you want fresh batches without waiting. Cards are accepted, but check the shelf life printed on the box before you travel. Prices and hours may change.
Because the main store sits near the Daereungwon walls, it fits easily into a walk between sights, and benches nearby make it easy to eat on the spot.
It is a 7-minute walk from Daereungwon; the Daereungwon or Hwangnam-dong bus stops are nearby. Parking in front is hard, so use the Daereungwon lot. (Show a driver: 황남빵 본점)
