Bukchon Hanok Village

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 Seoul, South Korea


Nestled between the palaces of Gyeongbok and Changdeok, Bukchon Hanok is a 600-year old traditional Korean village with more than a million visitors every year and a reflection of the capital's urban history.

Bukchon Hanok is the most common stopover of tourists going to Gyeongbokgung from Changdeokgung or vice versa being in the middle of both, which is perfect because since you're visiting 600-year old palaces, why not stop by a 600-year old neighborhood while you're at it right? Hahaha!

The neighborhood is actually still a residential area up to this day, so tourists are advised to be quiet while visiting.
