Description
I would love to show you the town where many noblemen used to live during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Welcome to Bukchon Hanok Village, an extremely popular tourist attraction in Seoul !
Our live-streamed online experience will save you from having to lose your breath walking over the hills. What do I mean by walking over the hills? The answer to that is, traditional houses were built over the hills keeping in mind natural elements and forces. The idea was to stay in harmony with nature and cause as less damage as possible.
During the Joseon Dynasty, 30 houses of noblemen were located close to major Royal Palaces of Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung. I will give you insights into the lives of Yangban (Korean noblemen) and show you their Giwajip (tiled roof houses).
After the Korean War of 1950, Seoul took the path of modernisation, and everything was re-built from scratch. However, you can still find some traditional homes which will transport you back to that period in time. Witness day-to-day life with me as I walk you through this quaint hamlet; I will show you the combined scenery of modern and traditional Seoul and regale you with interesting stories about Korean traditional life!
