While I was shopping and walking along Hongdae, I realise they also have cherry blossoms trees! You can’t miss out because there are almost everywhere! It’s so beautiful 🌸 If you haven’t been to Hongdae, you definitely should as it is super happening & there are many shopping & food options. The clothes they sell there are inexpensive as well. If you are a looking for a place to party, this is the place to go as well or you can sing karaoke 🎤 📍Hongik University Station #cherryblossom2024

You can learn and read about how yeonnamdong was constructed. Back in the days, this area is a river stream known as “Segyo Silgaecheong Brook”. It was then developed into a forest trail and then Line 2 Subway was constructed which goes all the way to Gimpo and Incheon airport. There is even a red mailbox specially built to create lasting memories. The letters and postcards in this mailbox only get delivered 2 times in a year on the biggest festival, Chinese New Year and Chuseok which is Lantern & Mooncake Festival in Singapore. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Finally I have reach the residential area of Yeonnamdong park. The straight line distance from the housing area to Hongik University station exit 3 is about 15 to 20 minutes. It is a good distance and you can do a workout to clock steps everyday. There is a neighbourhood park here for the residents and the housing here looks more like public housing. The blocks of flats look just like our HDB in Singapore. The park is lovely and you can see many dogs here. It is also a fitness park and many flowers are planted here. I will walk towards this area when I come back to yeonnamdong soon. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

I have walk through the entire Yeonnamdong district, starting from Hongik University station exit 3 and I take the anti-clockwise approach around it. There are many smaller alleys so you also can explore it too. It will be better to explore in the day because most of the cafes and restaurants close early. I also walk the residential area and mostly it is a gentle upslope so you will need a pair of shoes, no heels for the ladies please. All the cafes and restaurants here are stand-alone building. You will have some new sightings, a different feel from the usual tourist places. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

There are really too many selfie studios in Seoul and each selfie studio are totally different concept. They even provide free props for you to take photos. It is really fun when you come with friends and family. I see there are more ladies here than guys. They even have different types of photo printers for you to choose from. The quality of the photo stickers are very good and they have all the props for you to reduce glare. You can also edit on your photos before you click print. This activity will definitely be a great memory during your travel. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

For most tourists who come to Hongdae, they may not know about Yeonnamdong. This is a residential neighborhood which is slowly become trendy with the locals. It is actually just right opposite Hongdae. If you follow me, I can show you the places to go in Yeonnamdong. There are many cafes, restaurants and buskers too. There are very little tourists here and they have super interesting cafes. Just cross the road from AK Plaza Hongdae and you will be at Yeonnamdong or you can exit at Hongik University station exit 3. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

I usually only buy them at pop-ups that happen occasionally in Tokyo, but when I actually go to the store, I get lost because there are so many things I want🌸 . It's three stories and has a lot of things from clothes to miscellaneous goods, so it was easy to browse🤍✨ . You can walk there from Hongdae, so it's a spot you should definitely visit when you go on a trip! ◎ . . #Depound #depound #KoreaTrip #KoreaTourism #Hapjeong #Hapjeong

It's common sense to eat Korean beef in Korea🤭 A Korean friend even asked me out in Hongdae? Not a racecourse hole? ! Also came to a very swift restaurant, the whole feeling very European, with brown and red walls, exquisite lights, a 10 is not imagined Korean family-style beef processing restaurant. The whole restaurant is very comfortable, without any smell of barbecue. The tables are not placed too densely, the restaurant serves "1++" extreme Korean beef, but also really traditional charcoal stove to grill, very flavorful. The restaurant offers a huge range of appetizers, including regular kimchi, salad, frozen tofu, assorted fruits and vegetables, and my favorite pumpkin puree, all of which can be unlimited. As for the condiments, there are several kinds, sea salt, barbecue sauce, mustard sauce, etc. have different combinations 🤣 lined up to the whole stove, very Korean food of 1999 😘 A friend specially introduced three different kinds of Korean beef for us to try, my personal favorite 🥇 signature rib eye meat, 🥈 snowflake grilled tenderloin 🥉 steak ribs 🥩소갈비살 Steak Bone (𝟭𝟴𝟬𝟬𝟬𝘄𝗼𝗻) This is lean meat between the ribs, soft and chewy, grilled until the outside is crispy, add a little salt and you can eat it🤭 🥩화설꽃살 Signature Korean Beef Rib Eye The steak located between the 6th and 8th ribs is indeed the most delicious, its fat distribution is super beautiful! The meat is super tender, melting in your mouth 🤣 At the same time, the beef flavor is heavier 😍 The oil flavor and beef flavor coexist, the whole 𝘵779 is very good, I really can't go back. Finally, I left a plate. 🥩화설등심 Snowflake Grilled Tenderloin (𝟮𝟲𝟬𝟬𝟬𝘄𝗼𝗻) The tenderloin with some ribs and oil flowered parts, with excellent marble pattern. This part is a little more fat than the rib eye, but a little robbed the meat flavor, as it turns out, eating the rib eye can not turn back 😆 Also ordered the traditional big sauce soup 🥣 hot and very comfortable, but the taste was slightly salty. There is also a pot rice 🍚 is made of purple rice, bite more smoky, feel healthier The whole meal billed like 2029, the quality of Korean beef plus the environment is really excellent value for money😆 📍 화설 연남점 𝐇𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐨𝐥 서울 마포구 성미산로 188 1층 #foodie #hkfoodie #hkeat #foodlover #chill #cafe #852food #followme #photooftheday #instagood #me #foodie #foodholic #topcitybiteshk #eatgoodfood #korea #foodrecommendations #foodstagram #seoulfreetravel #seoulattractions #seoul trip #seoul #seoulfood #hongdae #seoul #koreanwoo

#Korea Attractions #Seoul #Hongdae Food ❣️❣️ This trip to Seoul I would like to recommend one of your must-eats is the authentic charcoal grilled eel Definitely a flavor that you can't eat in Hong Kong It takes about 5-10 minutes to walk from Exit 2 of Hongdae MRT Station. The large fish tank outside the store is full of freshly cut eels 💰The minimum consumption in this store is from two people That 70000won 2 people with included two eel small dishes and big sauce soup alone to eat is a bit difficult 🤣🤣 🐟The main character eel is actually very tasty without any dipping sauce, a little thorny but swallowing will not scratch the throat The eel itself is already very fresh and bouncy plus the clerk helped grill the heat just right The day about 18:30 to go without queuing about 18:30 to be nearly full The store is mostly Korean 🤣 It is a restaurant favored by locals Bongcheon Eel Yeonnam-dong Store 풍천장어연남점📍서울마포구동교로27길39
