Insadong / Gyeongbok Palace / Hanok Village / Gwangjang Market (Korea Day Tour)

Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces. Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond have remained relatively intact. Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculptures of contemporary art.

Insadong is a valuable space where old but valuable traditional objects are exchanged in the middle of the city. Packed with galleries, traditional crafts shops, antique shops, traditional tea houses, traditional restaurants and cafes Stores in Insa-dong are very popular with young people as well as middle-aged people for their unique style. Foreign tourists who visit Korea to see traditional Korean culture buy old-fashioned dried pollack or gomisul at traditional stores. And buy the peels on the street and eat the traditional scallions.

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 neighborhood lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture.

It was selected as one of the top three chapters of Hanyang in the late Joseon Dynasty. All market buildings were destroyed during the Korean War, but market functions were restored as transactions of daily necessities, including munitions and black-market transactions by refugees. Famous places are eatery, and famous things are drug gimbap, bindae tteok and yukhoe.
