SEOUL Random 09: Bukchon Hanok Village 北村

Bukchon Hanok Village

is a traditional Korean village

Hanok = Korean house

 

in betweem Gyeongbokgung 景福宮

Changdeokgung 昌德宮

Jongmyo Royal Shrine 宗廟

 

residences for

government officials and

royal relatives as

it provides exclusivity and

accesibility given the

distance to the palace

 

serving the King is

not an easy task at all

as you gonna be ready

all queue up in line

early in the morning

 

everything looks exceptionaly good

under such a lovely weather

the village itself is

a local residential area

therefore it is quite

“open-ended” and free to explore

as long as you don’t

interfere with the properties or

create nusiance

i think the wall are

built quite some time after to

protect the privacy yet

it blends in well

well preserved tiny unit

even if it is being surrounded by

taller and bigger buildings around

a female artist was shooting a MV

with her dance crew

preview is available

as there is a long-distance camera

yet they are pretty strict about

photo snapping of the content itself

would be asked to remove the photo

if they saw anyone taking photo

even through the preview screen
