Bukchon Hanok Village

This historic village dates back to the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897) and boasts around 900 traditional hanok houses, which have been meticulously preserved for both residential and cultural purposes.

Each season brings its own charm; in spring, the cherry blossoms create a picturesque backdrop for photos. Whether you're exploring the architecture or learning about traditional Korean crafts, Bukchon Hanok Village offers a unique blend of history and culture in the heart of the city.
