Traveler highlights
Bukchon Hanok Village, in Seoul’s Jongno District near Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung, was once home to Joseon aristocrats. It retains traditional hanok houses and tiled roofs. Narrow hillside lanes reveal layered rooflines and views toward Samcheong-dong. Among the Bukchon Eight Views, the fourth is known for overlapping rooftops and the eighth for its street view. This is a lived-in neighborhood, not a closed historic park; visitors can admire architectural details while respecting residents. Its restoration received a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award of Excellence in 2009.
