🇰🇷 Bukchon Hanok Village Tips 🏘️✨

#summervacay
Arrived around 10:30 AM on a sunny day — perfect weather for exploring! ☀️
Bukchon Hanok Village is basically one street filled with traditional Korean houses. The whole area is quite small, so you can stroll through it pretty quickly.
Be mindful that some houses are private residences and not open to the public. Please respect the privacy and don’t enter those areas. 🚫
There are several souvenir shops selling local goods—though the quality can vary. You can also rent hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) here to take beautiful photos! 👘📸

For lunch, I tried the famous Baeknyeon Samgyetang (century-old ginseng chicken soup). The restaurant has an autograph from actor Seo Kang-ho at the entrance.
The samgyetang was tender and flavorful, with sticky rice stuffed inside the chicken. The taste was mild and comforting, almost like a savory white dragon fruit stew. 🍲🐔

Opening hours: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM, so plan your visit accordingly. ⏰
Photo tip: Use a golden or amber filter for that warm, nostalgic vibe! 📸✨
