Hanok

#summervacay South Korea’s most iconic hanok (traditional Korean house) villages: Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul and Jeonju Hanok Village. Let’s explore what makes each special and help you choose which to visit—or enjoy both in your itinerary. Bukchon Hanok Village (Seoul) is a scenic historical district nestled between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces. The name "Bukchon" means "North Village," indicating its position north of Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno Avenue. It features over 900 hanok houses, originally built for Joseon-era elites—many repurposed today as cafés, cultural centers, galleries, and guesthouses. From November 2024, access to certain “Red Zone” residential areas is limited to 10:00–17:00, with fines for visiting outside these hours. #citydaytours #museums #myitinerary #localfood #afternoonteatime #staycation
