This video is about Day 1 of our South Korea travel series when we visited Bukchon Hanok Village and Insadong Street area after reaching and checking in into our hotel in Seoul.
Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses, called hanok, that date back to the Joseon dynasty. The name Bukchon, which literally translates to "northern village," came about as the neighbourhood lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants, and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn, and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture. As Bukchon Hanok Village is an actual neighbourhood with people's homes, visitors are advised to be respectful at all times while looking around.
Insadong is a quaint neighbourhood known to have the best souvenirs, antique stores, traditional stationery shops, handicraft shops, and pottery and porcelain shops in Seoul. Besides the traditional restaurants, tea houses, and cafes, there are also about 100 galleries of traditional Korean fine art from paintings to sculptures.
