Facing to 1,400 of Korean Traditional Houses ‘Hanok’, At A Time
Buk means North in Korean language, Chon means a village. Hanok is Korean traditional housing style. BukChon Hanok Village has almost 600 years old history. Since it’s located between KyeongBok and ChangDuk Palaces, it had to be a fancy town. Because many high-ranking government officials and royal families lived in this town, there used to be very big houses in old days. However, unfortunately, all the big houses got divided into small ones at the end of Japanese imperialism so current looking village was created then.
Tteok is basically rice cake. Once you see how many different, various, beautiful kinds of rice cake Korea has, you would like to try them all already. Tteok museum experience will be fun about Korean rice cake, and amaze your mouth too. Gwanghwamun square is surrounded by all the skyscrapers in Seoul, with Cheonggyecheon(cheon means stream) around.

Since it is located in the northern part of Cheonggyecheon and Jongno, people named this area Bukchon, which means northern village. In the village, there are Gahoe-dong, Songhyeon-dong and Samcheong-dong, whose names evoke affection in all Seoulites.

I’ve been really looking forward to visiting ‘Bukchon Hanok Village’ that was background of K-Drama ‘Personal Taste’. It seems traditional Korean village. Many houses are gorgeous, beautiful, monotonous and quiet, lots of bustling bistros and cafes, several excellent restaurants and local shopping streets that is charming and traditional.
Such an attractive place.
