#Seoul Itinerary
Gwangjang Market is bustling with people and filled with aromas, and there are always long queues in front of the food stalls. Kimchi pancakes, spicy stir-fried rice cakes and raw octopus, every bite is a microcosm of Korean city life. The laughter and shouts of the vendor ladies seem to tell decades of stories from the market. Walking in this old market, I felt the profound historical heritage. This was my most authentic contact with the culture of this city.
Stay overnight at Incheon Bird's Nest Hotel. Although it is far away from the city center, it has a rare tranquility and openness. Lying on the white bed and recalling the bustle of the market, I discovered that traveling is not just a journey, but also a process of dialogue with the land. The design of this hotel is simple and elegant. The comfort of the room made me let go of my fatigue and deeply feel the perfect transition from the bustling city to the quiet home. There is a leisurely atmosphere in the air, which makes people relax instantly.
