Bukchon Hanok Village, a place that preserves the ancient Korean style

Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul is like a shining pearl, inlaid in the center of the city.
This was once the residential area for high-ranking officials and nobles during the Joseon Dynasty, and it carries a rich history. Walking through it, you will see traditional Korean houses scattered around in an orderly manner. Although they have gone through the baptism of time, they still exude a unique charm.
The lower roof slope, round beams, double eaves, and narrow but large number of rooms all embody the structural integrity and beauty of Korean houses.

This is also a popular check-in destination for Korean drama fans. Many popular Korean dramas have been filmed here, making people feel as if they have walked into the world of the drama. The eight scenic spots of Beicun are scattered around. If time is limited, you can visit the areas with dense attractions.

Don’t forget to go to the Bukchon Cultural Center to pick up a map for better exploration. If you are tired of shopping, you can take a break in the nearby cafes or teahouses and enjoy the leisure time.

Or you can rent a Korean costume and experience the joy of being a local. Bukchon Hanok Village is an interweaving of history and modernity, and a fusion of culture and customs. It is worth spending a few hours here to savor the unique Korean charm.
