If you have been to COEX Mall of South Korea before, the new look will give you a pleasant surprise. Renovated and relaunched in 2015, the renovated COEX Mall is now a modern shopping mall with 200 retail outlets and 90 cafes and restaurants. It remains one of the largest underground shopping mall in Asia. In case of rain, this will be a great place to spend a day. In addition to the endless shopping, there is a large video game center, cinema and an aquarium.
The main plaza is the nicest with high ceiling, natural sunlight and spacious. 中心廣場樓的樓頂是兩層打通的，有天然陽光穿透，煥然一新。COEX Mall is a large shopping mall under Korea World Trade Center and connects to the Hyundai Department Store, Parnas shopping mall and Lotte Duty Free.
