Best Thing To Do In Seoul! Wearing Hanbok And Exploring Gyeongbokgung(Palace) ♡

We “HaB Korea” sell various kinds of activities and experiences you can enjoy in Korea, and among them, our photography product is the most popular one. If you ever been to Gyeongbokgung palace or Bukchon Hanok Village, you might have seen so many people wearing Korean traditional costume, “Hanbok”. We have a package including Hanbok rental and professional photography!

If you get off at the Seoul Metro station “Anguk”(Line 3), you can easily find “Samcheong-dong” and “Bukchon Hanok Village”, famous sightseeing spots.

If you get out from the station using exit 1, you can go to Bukchon Hanok Village, if you use exit 6, you will find Insa-dong.

Many signboards in this area are written in Korean because this area is supposed to keep traditional vibes. This Korean characters mean “Olive Young”

There’s a big police station across Exit 1.

If you cross the street from Insa-dong, you can easily access to Bukchon Hanok Village(Samcheong-dong).

Once you find “Olive Young”, go straight then explore the alley with quite traditional vibes.

It’s quite nice to explore traditional streets in the center of a big city like Seoul. Look at the skyscrapers nearby.

Bukchon Hanok Village is really popular among Koreans, so there are so many people visiting for a date, or picnic especially on weekends.

There are Girls’ middle and high school on the way to the main street of Bukchon Hanok Village.

From Anguk station to the main street of Bukchon Hanok Village, it takes about 15 min by walk. But the street is really pretty, so you won’t think that it’s far from the station.

Of course, there are clothing shops! Seoul is for sure a paradise of shopping.

It’s a fun neighborhood to see alleyways, so if you don’t have an exact destination, you might have fun looking from place to place without looking at a map.
