Seoul, South Korea Trip #9: Namsan-gol Hanok Village

Namsan-gol Hanok Village.

This place is just 2 blocks from our hostel. So, we just walk about 15 minutes to get it here.

No fee was charged for entering the village. We went there on Friday and there were lot of students there. Well, since I came to Korea, I always saw students here and there so I got a bit confuse about their school time. Haha.

What's in there?

Traditional houses, etiquette school (I didn't know if foreigner can apply for this stuff. I saw a group of Korean students attending this etiquette lesson in one of the traditional house.), garden, traditional games and time capsule.
