As we entered the beginning of Hwangridan-gil, my child exclaimed, "This place is so pretty!" with curiosity. The cafes housed in traditional tiled-roof buildings, the small paintings on the walls, and the colorful signs caught my child's attention. Every time we paused, my child would excitedly say, "Mom, look at this!" turning an ordinary stroll into a little adventure.

We stopped by a small dessert shop in the alley to buy my child’s favorite ice cream and took a short break. Sitting on a bench under the warm sunlight, my child enjoyed the sweet treat while I savored a cup of coffee, soaking in the moment. The view of Daereungwon’s tombs blending seamlessly into the scenery of Hwangridan-gil was truly memorable.
