Oh, Bukchon Hanok Village

Filed in Art & Photography, Seoul Trip Travelogue

Bukchon Hanok Village was located near Gyeongbokgung Palace. Hmmm. It was not that near though. We had to walk quite a distance. And finding that place is not easy either. It is said that the place is a home to hundreds of traditional houses called ‘hanok’ that date back to the Joseon Dynasty.

I personally think that we are in the wrong area. It’s Bukchon Hanok Village. Just not the area for tourist. Because supposedly there are a lot of houses that was modified into guest house, tea house etc, but we are too tired to give a damn about it. So we just took few pictures and left. =_=

    Alaaaaa. Memang frust gila lah macam tu. =.=” But memang kebanyakkan tempat macam ni tutup on Monday or Tuesday kalau tak silap.

    And actually petang tu kitaorang nak masuk Blue House kat belakang Gyeongbokgung Palace tu, dah register kat Cheong Wa Dae website. But cari shuttle bus untuk masuk Blue House tu tak jumpa. Tanya guard kat Blue House tu, tapi dyeorg pun tak tau. :/
