Gyujanggak Cartoon Museum
Gyeonggi-do(Bucheon-si) , Bucheon

Unleash Your Inner Cartoonist: Korea Manhwa Museum – A Creative Sanctuary for Comic Culture Just a short ride from Seoul in the city of Bucheon lies a vibrant haven dedicated to one of Korea’s most dynamic art forms: manhwa. The Korea Manhwa Museum invites visitors into a world where comics, webtoons, animation and storytelling converge—offering an experience that’s equal parts visual feast and hands-on creation. Whether you’re a lifelong comic fan, traveling with family, or simply curious, this museum offers a refreshing and imaginative escape. From the moment you enter the lobby you are greeted by bold graphics, character sculptures and interactive displays that set the tone for a journey through Korea’s comic heritage. Exhibition halls trace the evolution of manhwa—from early illustrations and print comics to today’s global webtoon phenomenon. You’ll see how Korean creators embraced technology and storytelling, changing both format and audience along the way. One of the museum’s most compelling features is its immersive “experience zone,” where you can step into the shoes of a comic artist. Try sketching your own character, color panels using digital tablets, or wander through the massive manhwa library housing tens of thousands of volumes. For visitors of all ages, the joy of creation becomes part of the visit—not just observation. Families will find plenty of fun: there are play-friendly zones filled with iconic comic characters, multimedia games, and workshops designed to engage both children and adults. For adult visitors or design-enthusiasts, rare original drawings, behind-the-scenes concept boards and media installations reveal the creative process behind Korea’s most beloved stories. The museum is part of a larger cultural hub in Bucheon—a city known for its comic-art festivals and creative energy. After your museum visit, you can wander nearby cafés, browse street art, or simply relax in an artistic district buzzing with possibility. It’s perfect for a half-day cultural outing or a relaxed addition to a Seoul-based itinerary.

Seoullo 7017
Seoul(Jung-gu) , Namdaemun・Seoul-Station

In the 1970s, an elevated road was built to connect the eastern and western sides around Seoul Station. However, the road was closed to road traffic due to safety issues. After this, rather than tearing down the existing structure, the road was transformed into Seoullo 7017, a new pedestrian walking experience. Seoullo 7017 gets its name from its years of new life, from being a traffic road in the 70s to a sky garden in 2017. The "17" also has a deeper meaning, with Seoullo 7017 being divided into 17 unique sections, and the road being located 17 meters above the ground. There are a variety of facilities along Seoullo 7017, including an information center, cafes, gardens, and stages. Seoullo 7017 itself is open all day, every day for visitors to enjoy at their leisure.

Due to its unique domed roof and large size, the station attracted much attention in its early years.After Korea regained its independence from under Japanese colonial rule, the station’s name was changed from ‘Gyeongseong Station’ to ‘Seoul Station’.

After Korea began industrializing after the war, the South annex and West annex were constructed to handle the increasing transportation volume.In 2004 when the privately-funded new station was constructed, the old station closed down, but after reconstruction in 2011 opened as a multicultural space called ‘Culture Station Seoul 284’.
