Bukchon Hanok Village

The Hanok is beautiful and well preserved.

Walking the whole area can be a bit challenging though.

Map and guidebook needed. X

The amazing view from the hill of  Bukchon Hanok Village.

Mesmerising on a late autumn's morning.

Shhhh....be quiet!

Bukchon Hanok Village is a housing area.

You are reminded to tone down your voice while visiting. 

The famous Myeongdong Cathedral.

Love the building, as well as the yellow leaves

of autumn. Pretty.

Advertisements of K-Pop artists can be seen everywhere.

Took tons of photos and this is TGI Friday's 

by Jung Yong-Hwa of CN Blue. 

Jajangmyun of Omori

I tried the kimchi jiigae (kimchi stew) as well.

Delicious and appetising.

Daehanmun @ Deoksugong

It is near City Hall and you can reach this palace

using the City Hall station.

Check out this link for the ticket price.

You can get an all inclusive ticket for the other palaces and

Jongmyo Shrine as well. ^^

Autumn colours in Deoksugong

Simply amazing!

Gwang Hwa Mun @ Gyeongbokgung

From what I read on line, it is the main and  largest  palace

of Joseon Dynasty.
It is easy to reach as you only need to take a subway
 via Gyeongbokgung station.
