According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, last year the Bukcheon area in northern Seoul saw more than 100 thousand visitors.
Established nearly 600 years ago at the start of the Joseon dynasty, the residential area between Gyeongbok and Changdeok Palaces has become famous for its high density of traditional Korean houses, called Hanok.
Located between two of Seoul’s most famous palaces and the Jongmyo Royal Shrine, Bukcheon is home to many historical spots and cultural heritage sites, including the Gahoe Museum. Because of the increase in the number of visitors, several interpreters are on hand to assist tourists in Japanese, Chinese and English.
