[Korea's new hotspot for checking in] Introduction to Seongsudong

"Shengshui Cave" is an emerging hotspot for photography in recent years. It has been transformed from an industrial area into a gathering place for young people. There are many cafes with different decoration styles and many Korean trendy brands. The most famous of these are Dior Seongsu, Nudake and Cafe Onion.

Dior Seongsu is a temporary store that will operate from 2022 to 2024 and is a few minutes walk from Exit 4 of Seongsu MRT Station. Its appearance is a tribute to the Dior headquarters on Montaigne Avenue in France. There is a Cafe inside where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and shopping, but to enter you need to make a reservation, if you have a Korean phone number, you can download the Dior Seongsu app to make a reservation. If not, don't be too discouraged. You can go walk in and try your luck.

Nudake is an art Coffee Shop owned by eyewear brand Gentle Monster. The red and white feature wall outside the St. Waters store is its signature photo spot, which is about 7-8 minutes walk from Exit 4 of St. Waters Station. Each dessert inside can be described as art, the most famous dessert is definitely the matcha creamy croissant, black like a crown shaped croissant, wrapped in the middle of creamy matcha sauce, taste great! Good looking and delicious! However, this branch in Sacred Water does not have glasses to buy. If you want to buy glasses by the way, you have to go to the one in Gugu Pavilion.

Cafe Onion Holy Water shop is an industrial-style route, cement brick walls, a little before walking from Holy Water Station Exit 2 will be seen, but because of the popular store, so go to the first is to queue 🤣. There are many kinds of bread inside, put all on the table for you to choose, dazzling, salty and sweet, there is always one for you, the most famous of which is the snow mountain bread, the surface of the bread piled with icing, piled to a mountain, suitable for people who like to eat sweet, and match a cup of coffee is just right.

In addition to the cafe, there is also a famous restaurant in Seongsu-dong for potato rib soup, but there are really too many people queuing up at any time. So recommend another restaurant that eats Korean food, it is opposite the main potato rib soup, called "길동우동성수점" It takes about 4 minutes to walk from Exit 4 of Seng Shui Station. Once you enter, you will see a machine on the right hand side where you can order food, have Chinese to read, and pay with a credit card. Our group of 7 ordered two dumplings, seaweed rice roll, bibimbap, spicy fried year cake, spicy fried pork rice, fried squid and fried seaweed vermicelli roll. The dumplings are as big as ever, the fried year cake is not too spicy, very soft and smoky, the fried pork rice is spicier, but the sauce is spicy and sweet, I want to continue eating, the two fried foods taste nothing greasy, the skin is very crispy, not fried very old, very tasty!

After eating, you can walk around different small shops, or you can walk to Seoul Rim and Gangkook University, when a walk is a good option.
