• Gyeongbokgung Palace

One of the five major royal palaces in Seoul, this palace has 600 years of
history as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). It was built in
1395 by Yi Seong-gye (Taejo, reigned 1392-1398), the founder of the Joseon
Dynasty, as the palace of the new dynasty when the capital was moved to its
current location in Seoul. It is also called "Bukgol" (North Palace) as it is
located in the north of Seoul.

• Changing of the guard ceremony

You can see the opening and closing of the royal palace gates and the changing
of the guards ceremony, which took place during the Joseon Dynasty. The
changing of the guards ceremony held at Gyeongbokgung Palace is a powerful
ceremony in which many soldiers with different ranks appear, and colorful
flags are waved and the guards change positions.

• Bukchon Hanok Village

Located between Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, and Jongmyo
Shrine, this traditional residential area has been a part of Seoul's 600-year
history and its old streets have been preserved as they were. Currently, it is
used as a traditional culture experience center, Korean food restaurants, and
more, and is a place where you can experience the atmosphere of the Joseon
Dynasty.

• Insadong

Insadong is a maze of side streets on either side of the main street, and is a
place where modernity and tradition coexist in an urban space, with art
galleries, traditional craft shops, traditional restaurants, and cafes galore.

• Ikseon-dong

Ikseon-dong is an "urban hanok" settlement established in the 1920s, with over
120 houses lined up in a small space. While Bukchon, another hanok village,
was mostly high-end residential areas such as yangban, Ikseon-dong was the
residence of the middle class. Today, it is well-maintained, with stylish
cafes, restaurants and general stores converted from hanok houses, making it a
hot tourist destination bustling every day with Seoul residents and foreign
tourists alike.

• Gwangjang Market

In the past, Korean markets were generally temporary, such as one-day,
alternate-day, 3-, 5-, or 7-day markets, but Gwangjang Market was the first
public market in Korea, established with government permission in 1905, and is
now a large market that handles all kinds of goods. In the middle, there are
rows of food stalls, with a wide variety of menu items, including bibimbap
with plenty of vegetables, bindaetteok, where mung beans are ground and
grilled on the spot, stuffed sundae, kalguksu, seaweed rolls, chijimi,
dumplings, sashimi, and yukhoe.

• Seongsu-dong

Seongsu-dong is an area located on the west side of Seoul that was a bustling
heavy industrial area that supported Korea's economic growth until the 1970s,
but then it went into decline, and until a few years ago it was a desolate
area lined with vacant houses and dilapidated buildings. However, local
residents, the local government, and young entrepreneurs have since renovated
quaint old houses into cafes, fashion stores, and restaurants, and the area
has regained its vitality as a hot spot in Seoul.
