| PLACE TO GO |
| Bukchon Hanok Village |
|
 |
Bukchon Hanok Village sits between the two palaces of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung. Unlike other hanok villages, Bukchon was not created for tourists but it is a living village inhabited by Seoulites, comprising about 900 hanoks spread across 11 dongs (administrative sections). The reason there are so many traditional houses in this area is that many yonagbans (people from the ruling class) lived here during Joseon Dynasty(1392-1910).
The most famous part of Bukchon Hanok Village is Gahoedong-gil(Alley) in the 31, Gahoe-dong area which amazes visitors with the sight of hundreds of hanoks clustered together in midtown Seoul and with the stunning panoramic views over the city from the top of the alley. |

| PLACE TO EAT |
| Gwangjang Market’s Jeon Ally |
Jeon Ally running a length of about 30 meters starting from the entrance of the market. Although this may sound quite long for such a humble food alley, several stores are stalls are crammed in along the length of it, making the idea of personal space a laughable matter. But regardless of the fact that eating here means being crammed shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers, there won’t be a single person in the whole lot with a scowl on their face. And that’s because their mouths are too busy happily munching away at bindaetteok and other varieties of jeon, or too busy gulping down bowls full of markgeolli. The combination of jeon and makgeolli is so universally enjoyed you’ll see all kinds of people eating here.
