Step Back in Time at Bukchon Hanok Village 🏘️🌧️  
Get ready to stroll between rows of beautiful hanoks (traditional Korean houses) right in the heart of Seoul! Even on cloudy, rainy days, the mist adds an atmospheric touch to your photos and makes the old alleyways extra magical. Don’t miss those close-up shots of intricate wooden doors and tiled roofs—perfect for refreshing your feed with Korean vibes!
Recommended Route: Start from the main entrance at 37, Gyedong-gil and wander up and down the alleyways. Let yourself get a little "lost"—the best instaworthy corners often pop up when you’re off the main path.
Must-do Experiences: Snap photos of the unique hanok architecture, and grab a traditional snack from local bakeries (be sure to try badasan cookies if you see them—they’re famous from Busan but sometimes pop up in Seoul artisan shops). Pause at small tea houses for a cup of traditional Korean tea, or recharge with fresh kimchi and BBQ at small eateries nearby—Super Junior themselves praised Seoul’s food scene!
Top Photo Spots: For unbeatable shots, aim for the panoramic viewpoint near the top of the village for sweeping city-meets-tradition photos. Doorways and lantern-lit alleys are best for close-ups.
Practical Visiting Tips: Bukchon is open year-round, so you can visit any day, any time. Wear comfy shoes for walking hilly and sometimes slippery paths, especially if it’s rainy. Be considerate—people actually live here, so keep noise down.
Key Precautions: Prepare for crowds in peak hours; visit early mornings or late afternoons for a calmer mood. Rain gear is a must—umbrellas or a chic raincoat will keep you effortlessly stylish and dry!
