Bukchon Village | When in Seoul

Bukchon Village | When in Seoul

  





Moving on to our 2nd day. We went to Bukchon Hanok Village. It's probably the simplest place we've been to and it's quite amazing how this residential place can be one of the tourist spots.  









Can I just say that if you would line up our house in Sagamihara in this area, no one would even notice. Hahaha. Basically, this place is where they kept the traditional look of the houses from before and I must say they kind of did a good job. Ancient.
Kind of. 









I was telling my buddy that it's ironic how some of the houses are being restored to look traditional. It defeits the purpose. But that's only me. 









It's a very nice place to walk around. It's probably nicer to walk around this place when shops are all open and not in the morning when we went because everything's closed yet. But it was nice. Probably nicer to walk with someone who appreciates the
vinategy stuff. There's so much to look at really. 









Also, this looks pretty in winter with all that snow. But whatevs. 











I would recommend going in the morning because when we arrived, there are probably only one group walking around and when we were about to go out of the place, it's already semi-crowded so yeah. Ciao!
