Bukchon Hanok Village
is a traditional Korean village
Hanok = Korean house
in betweem Gyeongbokgung 景福宮
Changdeokgung 昌德宮
Jongmyo Royal Shrine 宗廟
residences for
government officials and
royal relatives as
it provides exclusivity and
accesibility given the
distance to the palace
serving the King is
not an easy task at all
as you gonna be ready
all queue up in line
early in the morning
everything looks exceptionaly good
under such a lovely weather
the village itself is
a local residential area
therefore it is quite
“open-ended” and free to explore
as long as you don’t
interfere with the properties or
create nusiance
i think the wall are
built quite some time after to
protect the privacy yet
it blends in well
well preserved tiny unit
even if it is being surrounded by
taller and bigger buildings around
a female artist was shooting a MV
with her dance crew
preview is available
as there is a long-distance camera
yet they are pretty strict about
photo snapping of the content itself
would be asked to remove the photo
if they saw anyone taking photo
even through the preview screen
love this photo
persimmon on tree
You are being watched…
Hey you!

how’s the interior like
sorry, it’s a bad photo
and it seems that
it is the one and only i got
there are some private museums as well
some provide experience sessions
such as kimchi making, costume etc

if the weather stays like this
all day all week long

there is a tourism centre
within walking distance from the
metro station before
entering the village

with suggested routes
is available at the centre
