in #travel6 years ago (edited)

Suddenly, the great good place appeared in the middle of Seoul, just as it was 100 years ago. It is the Ikseondong Hanok Village.
Hanok means Korean styled beautiful house.
Here, you can enjoy the hanok atmosphere that you can not feel anywhere else.

The Iksundong Hanok Village was established in 1920 by an architectural entrepreneur called Jeong Se-kwon. Here is his face drawn by his successors.
