Descend and walk nine minutes to Sea Mall. Browse the aisles of this large shopping center, where you can find everything from electronics to local souvenirs under one roof.
Local tip
The walk to the tower is long (50 minutes). If you prefer a shorter route, check the local bus routes from the museum area. Sea Mall is open late, but many individual stores close earlier, so check specific shop hours if you plan to buy something specific.
