Seoul(Jung-gu) , Euljiro・Chungmuro・Namsan

If you get off from Exit 3 or 4 of Chungmuro Subway Station, you are right in front of Namsangol Hanok Village. You may find it interesting that this traditional Korean village is standing between the modern skyscrapers. This village has five restored traditional Korean houses and a pavilion, a pond and a time capsule, also making it a perfect spot to take a leisure walk. When you enter from the front gate, you will see the vast valley and the Chunugak Pavillion to the left of the pond. Beside the pond, there is a big space where performances are usually held. On the other side, you will see five traditional houses. These houses were remodeled after the traditional houses of Joseon Dynasty and belong to those of various social classes, ranking from peasants to the king. The furniture in the house is situated to help guests understand the daily lives of the past, and the clean, traditional houses, as well as their antique items provide a great photo op. If you would like to check out some souvenirs, stop by the traditional craftwork exhibit where you can buy small dishes and other items. You can also have some traditional tea and refreshments. On the grounds, there are traditional games that you may try such as 'neolttwigi' (sea-saw jumping), 'tuho'(arrow throwing) and 'yunnori' (traditional game of throwing wooden yut sticks). Don't forget to catch the traditional marriage ceremony that takes place. During the weekends, traditional marriages are shown at Bak Yeong Hyo's Residence. The traditional marriage ceremony is an interesting event for both Koreans and foreigners and many gather to watch. During the winter season (November to February), there are not as many wedding ceremonies as compared to that during spring and fall. Weddings are typically held around noon or 1 p.m. and visitors can take pictures with the husband and wife wearing traditional wedding costumes. There is also a time capsule commemorating Seoul’s 600 Year Anniversary that was buried in 1994 and is scheduled to be reopened four hundred years later in 2394.

Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses called 'hanok' that date back to the Joseon Dynasty. The name, 'Bukchon,' which literally translates to 'northern village,' came about as the neighborhoods that the village lies north of the two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse in Korean traditional culture.

Incheon Art Platform is located in Haean-dong of Incheon known for its well-preserved architectural heritage sites and buildings that display both ancient and modern architecture. The complex was established through remodeling buildings constructed in the 1930s and 1940s, and by revamping such landmark buildings as Nippon Yusen Kaisah (Cultural Property No. 248) from the days when Korea first opened its doors to the outside world. The 13 buildings, including studios, library, training center, exhibition and performance halls, that make up Art Platform are expected to develop into a huge street museum in the future, thereby preserving the historical establishments, while displaying the modern interpretation of the past.       As the Incheon Port was opened in 1883, this is where one could feel the rich history and culture accumulated over 126 years. Formerly used by the Japanese consulate, the Jung-gu Office, the Incheon branch of Japan's 1st, 18th and 58th Bank and other modern historical architecture can be found intact here. Also, it keeps the historical trace like Former Japan Mail and Shipping Inc., Incheon Art Platform, Jemulpo Gurakbu, and others for visitors to see and listen at the Incheon Gaehangjang (Open Port Area).         Jemulpo Club was established in 1901 to be used as the venue for foreigners such as American, English, German, French, Russian and a small minority of Chinese and Japanese all living in Incheon to build up friendships before opening the port. The two-story brick building was comprised of a library room, pool table, tennis court and others facilities. The site was used as Incheon Museum from 1953 to 1990 and Incheon Cultural Center from 1990 to 2006. In 2007, the name was changed to Jemulpo Gurakbu. It now offers a site for experiencing modern culture interactions.         Jayu Park, or park of Freedom, has held its name ever since October 3, 1957 when a statue of General McArthur, who led the Incheon Amphibious Landing Operation during the Korean War, was erected at the summit of Mt. Eungbongsan. The park offers spectacular views of downtown Incheon and its surrounding mountains, the port, and the sea. The first western style park in Korea. During April, cherry trees are in full bloom. The Port of Incheon and Wolmido may be seen from the peak of Jayu Park.   3.  Incheon Chinatown + Free lunch time       Korea's modernization started in Incheon, the biggest port on the country's west coast. Let's visit Incheon Open Port Trail. Pai-loo is a traditional Chinese gate that is set up at the entrance of towns. There are three pai-loos in the Town.  Incheon's Chinatown came into being with the opening of Incheon Port in 1883 and Incheon's designation as an extraterritoriality of the Ching Dynasty in the following year. In the past, the area held many stores trading goods imported from China, but currently most Chinese businesses in the area are restaurants. Today, the residents of Chinatown are mostly 2nd or 3rd generation Chinese, descendents of the early Chinese settlers. The area harbors many of the flavors of China, while the traditional culture of the first generation are preserved.       Let’s take jajangmyeon, if you feel hungry. All restaurants in the Town prepare their own jajangmyeon: home-made sauce noodle; vegetables and bean noodle without meat; white noodle; dry noodle; and more. It might be a big reward to take jajangmyeon at a place where its history began.   4. Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village       The opening of the Incheon Port in 1883 led to the start of many foreigners coming into the area for settlement. Soon, it became a rich village and many young people gradually moved out, leaving the village in a state of stagnant. As such, a renovation project was brought upon to improve development of the village by painting and decorating classic fairy tales all around.  Songwoldong Donghwa Village is literally “donghwa,” a fairy-tales town. The whole town is full of themes from fairy-tales. A big rainbow-board reads “Songwoldong Donghwa Village” welcomes visitors at the entrance. Take the left-side alley, where the village begins. Numerous main characters in fairy tales are waiting you in murals, sculptures, and photo zones. While walking through the village recalling the titles, main characters, and story-lines, visitors are fascinated by the village.   5. Hanmi Bookstore Connecting past and present, people and culture / Baedari Bookstall Street For the town name, Baedari, some say it originated from a fact that the village is where ships are brought. Others say it came from a bridge in the town that brought boats. Anyway since the opening of a harbor at Jemulpo beach in 1883, people gathered to form a town, Baedari. *Kim Shin visits this book shop frequently and it is aslo the place where Samshin (Birth Grandmother, played by Lee El) warned him about Ji Eun Tak’s fate (Episode 9).         6. Songhyeon Park Situated in Songhyeon, which houses Inchoen's first tap water facility, this park has a water playground, artificial waterfall, pond, inline skating rink and more. During the warmer season, there are lots of beautiful flowers along the paths that make for the perfect photo.          *Episode 2 Where Kim Eun Tak meets Grim Reaper for the second time, after 9years.   7. 18:20 : Drop off at Hongdae Station Exit 3. 18:50  Drop off at Hongdae Station Exit 3. ★ Precautions ※ If you cannot board on that day, no refund will be given. ※ It is difficult to give another seat for 1 person.
