2Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon Hanok Village, nestled between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces in Seoul, is a picturesque neighborhood renowned for its hundreds of traditional Korean houses, known as hanok. Dating back to the Joseon Dynasty, this area was historically home to high-ranking government officials and nobility. Today, the village offers a vivid glimpse into Korea's architectural heritage with its stone-paved alleys, tiled roofs, and wooden structures. While it remains a living residential neighborhood, many hanok have been thoughtfully transformed into cultural centers, artisan workshops, tea houses, and guesthouses. Set against the striking contrast of Seoul’s modern skyline, Bukchon Hanok Village is a quintessential destination for experiencing the quiet charm and timeless beauty of traditional Korea.
