Bukchon Hanok Village

Bukchon Hanok Village is a traditional Korean village in Seoul, located north of Gyeongbokgung Palace. "Bukchon" roughly translates to "north town." It includes the neighbourhoods of Wonseo-dong, Jae-dong, Gye-dong, Gahoe-dong, and Insa-dong, has a 600-year history dating back to the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897).

The Bukchon Traditional Culture Center highlights the village's values, history, and social practices. Enjoy a tea ceremony and a Bukchan hanok and culture exhibition in the hall. A variety of cultural lectures are also held. The City of Seoul and the Bukchon Cultural Center are assisting in organising these seminars.

Bukchon Hanok Village is an Instagram-worthy location, but many people are unaware that this small tourist destination and its surroundings have so much more to offer in terms of activities. A visit to the Bukchon Hanok Village would not be complete without wearing hanboks (traditional Korean costumes) and clicking a few photos. Pose against the historic stone walls of Bukchon Hanok Village.
