About

Named for being the neighborhood located west of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seochon Village is a historic place where artists and writers have gathered and lived since the Joseon Dynasty. Quiet hanoks, modern galleries, and unique shops blend together to create a distinctive atmosphere. Walking along the narrow, maze-like alleyways, you can feel as if you are time traveling.

It is also quite fun to discover traces of history and art, such as the site of poet Yun Tongju's boarding house and the Park No-soo Art Museum. Discover another charm of Seoul amidst the simple yet affectionate scenery.
