About

There is a theory that the name of Samcheong-dong was called Samcheong because the mountains and water are clear and the people's hearts are also clear and good, and another theory that it originated from Samcheongjeon Hall, which enshrined the three deities of Taoism: Taecheong, Sangcheong, and Okcheong. Samcheongdong-gil is a place where the traditional beauty of hanok buildings retaining their old-fashioned charm and the modern beauty of galleries and cafes are harmonized to create a unique atmosphere unique to Samcheong-dong, full of cultural fragrance with quiet walking paths, art galleries, museums, and antique shops hidden between the alleys. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city center, you can feel the old mood walking along the narrow sidewalks between hanoks, and it is a street where the colors of traditional hanoks and the intense colors of exotic modern art coexist.
