Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon Hanok Village is a dense hanok residential and tourist area in Gahoe-dong and Jae-dong, Jongno-gu, between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung. Hanok experience, alley walks, photos, and cafes draw many.
It was a yangban residential area in the Joseon period; in the 2000s preservation and village improvement made it a tourist destination. Hanok experience, traditional culture programs, cafes, and craft workshops increased foot traffic.
Hanok streets, alleys, and traditional-modern cafes coexist; domestic and international tourists and photo visitors keep coming. Real-time population is very high on weekends and in spring and autumn.
