Soul was my home for almost a year, and i lived in the one of the most interesting parts of it Ita won, its the red light area where most Foreigners live on the hill side f it!
Neon signs are every where , some say open 25 h a day! that was amusing one of the most beautiful part which i have seen in Korea is the
Buckchon Hanok village, it preserve the tradition life in Korea , 600 years ago, its a lovely Serene place to visit to get an insight on life in Korea, it exhibit how the house hold life was in that era with lovely garden , and great mansions
Bukchon Hanok Village is a village where traditional Korean houses called hanok form a group, which encompasses Gahoe-dong, Jae-dong, and Samcheong-dong in Jongno-gu. Bukchon has been a traditional residential district for more than 600 years of the history of Seoul. The name of Bukchon (meaning North Village) originated from it being the north village of Cheonggye-cheon and Jong-no.
The village is located between two palaces arranged on Sung Confucianism, which was the dominant ideology during the Joseon Dynasty, and has a large concentration of traditional Korean houses against an excellent landscape background. The numerous branch-like alleys have been kept as they always were, dramatically showing the scene of the city with its 600-year history.
At that time, it was famous as the exclusive residential area where high-ranking officials or royal family members resided and a few houses still maintain the reputation of the past. The branch-like alleys that imitate flowing water, unlike Western square roads, are one of the old features of this area. Visitors can feel the warm heart of Korea from the landscape that the eaves of houses are connected and walls are shared. While walking through the village, visitors can feel not only the beauty of the line of the eaves, but also the friendliness of alleys.
The Gahoe-dong Traditional Village Cultural Festival is held in the streets of Bukchon Hanok Village by the Bukchon Nobility Life Culture Pavilion and sculptures symbolizing Bukchon Hanok Village, where visitors can enjoy the lives of historical Koreans.
