First Glances at Bukchon
Bukchon is a historic district within the city of Seoul. Bukchon, translated meaning being "Northern Village" is known for its historic hanok village. Hanoks are traditional korean houses, C-shaped in plan. These houses had outdoor courtyards where most of the house's daily activities took place. Many were demolished as land was divided and developed. Luckily some of these hanoks are still preserved, some adapted into restaurants, but some are restored to its original condition to show visitors how these hanoks looked.
This area is full of coffee shops and restaurants as well as many art galleries. And there seems to be a weird fascination with cats...
