South Korea: Namsangol Hanok Village

Namsangol Hanok Village is a traditional Korean village. It quite interesting to find that the hanok village is actually located in between modern buildings in Chungmuro. 


I was there on last spring, the village is full of cherry blossom tree. It was beautiful, especially when wind blows, the petals falling like snow, and scattered on the road like carpet. Its totally amazing. There is no cherry blossom in my country so i deserve to feel amazed.

One of the attraction here is the Hanbok experiance. For us tourist, we definitely excited with the offer but unfortunately, we (me and the rest of the rombongan cik jijah participant) didn't get the chance to try out the Hanbok because it was closed. Damn!!!

Tips:

  • Bring along some 'jajan', biscuits or water. You'll get exhausted from the mild uphill and downhill walk.
  • Avoid TUESDAY if you plan to visit this village.
