Bukchon Hanok Village

Last weekend I visited the Bukchon hanok village in Seoul. It is located  in Samcheongdong. A hanok is a traditional  Korean home. Although they were popular  during the Joseon Dynasty, they are becoming pretty  hard to find. Bukchon village is one of the larger clusters of restored hanok villages.

The hanok homes were beautiful. They are spread throughout the neighborhood, so the area is nice for an afternoon walk. Some of the hanoks are available  for home stays so I may try to do that before I leave as well.

If you're ever in Korea I would say Bukchon is worth a visit, but I'd pair it with a visit to one of the nearby palaces as it doesn't take long to walk to village.
