I recently spent a delightful 4-hour visit to Eunpyeong Hanok Village, a hidden gem in Seoul. The village is known for its traditional Korean houses (hanoks) set against a backdrop of lush mountains. It’s a perfect blend of old-world charm and natural beauty. I arrived on a warm summer day, and despite the heat, the serene atmosphere made it worthwhile. I spent most of my time walking around, admiring the beautiful traditional hanok houses that line the village. The intricate wooden structures and the mountain backdrop created a peaceful ambiance, perfect for taking photos. After exploring, I found a cozy cafe tucked away in one of the alleys. It was a great place to cool down with a refreshing drink and soak in the village’s relaxing vibe. Though the visit was short, it was a refreshing escape from the city’s busy pace.
