📝 1. Overview
Between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung lies Bukchon Hanok Village — a living neighborhood of over 900 hanok (traditional Korean houses). Walking through its narrow, sloped alleys feels like stepping back in time. Once home to aristocrats and now a blend of history, culture, and modern artistry, Bukchon is ideal for cultural travelers, photo lovers, and those seeking a peaceful escape within bustling Seoul.
