Bukchon Hanok Village - 북촌한옥마을

Introduction
An old residential district containing about 860 Korean traditional houses (hanok), Bukchon (North Town) is thus named because it is located north of Cheonggyecheon, a stream cutting across downtown Seoul. Formed on a site flanked by two of the Joseon's royal palaces, Gyeongbokgung and changdeokgung, the district had been a hub of Joseon,s politics, administration and culture as it contained homes of royals, high-ranking officials and Confucian literati elites of the dynasty.
It is widely regarded as a living museum preserving much of the Seoul's tradition and culture with, in addition to the age-old houses and alleys, historic sites, art galleries, museums, exhibition facilities, antique shops, craft workshops and restaurants.
The Bukchon Hanok Village has grown into one of Seoul's major tourist attractions with the views of its 600-year history uniquely amalgamated with the urban scenes of the 21st century. The town now offers two exciting walking routes starting respectively at the street numbers 31 and 11 of Gahoe-dong linked to a unique network of alleys

History
Bukchon, the residential area for high circles constructed during the Joseon Dynasty which had not changed very much until the 1920s, changed its urban construction to the modern style in the 1930s. Housing operation companies bought large lots, forests and fields in Bukchon and constructed hanoks of medium and small scale in this place. All of the residential area of hanoks are located at 11, 31, 32 of Gahoe-dong, 35 Samcheong-dong, and 135 Gye-dong, where hanoks are standing closely together. Hanoks in Bukchon, which are called "reformed hanoks" since they are equipped with glass gates in daecheong (wooden-floored hall), have been equipped with new materials, such as shades of galvanized steel sheets on the eaves.

History Tteokbokki is a traditional Korean street food which can be usually purchased from street vendors also called 'pojangmacha' in Korean. The history of tteokbokki brings us back to the late Joseon dynasty. There are many hypotheses and controversy about its real origin.

Changdeokgung Palace - 창덕궁

Gambar
Introduction Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeokbukgung Palace in 1405. It was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings and is the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal Joseon palace. The palace grounds are comprised of a public palace area, a royal family residence building, and the rear garden. Known as a place of rest for the kings, the rear garden boasts a gigantic tree that is over 300 years old, a small pond, and a pavilion. The palace gained in importance starting from the time of 9th king of Joseon, Seongjong, when a number of kings began using it as a place of residence. Unfortunately, the palace was burned down by angry citizens in 1592 when the royal family fled their abode during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Thanks to Gwanghaegun, the palace was restored in 1611. Even today, it holds a number of cultural treasures such as Injeongjeon Hall, Daejojeon Hall, Seonjeongjeon Hall, and Nakseonjae. Ch...
