Cheonggyecheon StreamDo you know the word Feng Shui? this stream is where Korean ancestors chose as main water for the capital! Until 1960, this was surprisingly different than what it is now that homeless people, beggars and gangsters used to live here. How about now? It's man-made stream loved my locals located right in the middle of sky-scrappers (banks and investment companies) What a change!
-
Seoul City HallCan you guess where rich & powerful people live now? Koreans would say Gang-nam or Han-nam. How about one dynasty before now? It was central Seoul where we will meet and take a journey together! The area with this city-hall, all the power was centered. We will see what happened together, Let's go!
-
DeoksugungCan I take a moment to pull myself together before I start talking about here? because this place is attached to the end of Joseon era. Our last king had lived here and People had to let this kingdom fade away. Because of this, the next place has interesting city legend/myth.
-
Deoksugung Doldam-gilWe love this stone-wall street not because it makes you feel clear change of each season such as cherry blossoms in spring, bright green in summer, and autumn leaves in fall but also city legend that people say you will break up with your lover if walking down here. Why? because this has farewell feeling coming from the historical fact that we finished the previous era right here. Don't worry! It doesn't count as we don't walk but ride a bike. and you don't mind breaking up with me.
-
Jung-dongWill you be surprised if I say Korea has tons of churches & cathedrals? This area has beautiful and peaceful vibe with the first-built western churches from enlightenment movement at the end of Joseon era.
-
Gyeonghuigung PalaceHow will you feel if you are left alone in Seoul age of 18 years old? Gwanghae did a great job during Japanese invasion in late 16C and finally became the King. However! insecurity coming from his origin that he was the son of concubine badly got him. the stress and pressure from his young age. and somehow, building this palace was the biggest mistake he ever made. Do you want me to continue?
-
Gwanghwamun SquareWho do you think you are? Yes! you must be one of the most successful people as you pass this square that was power center back then! Who do we see here? the 2 most respected historical figures of Korea. this two characters will give you some life lesson!
-
Gyeongbokgung PalaceJust by pausing at the entrances of each of the palaces, We can feel the energy of the era and view the architecture and beauty from 600 years ago. Are you ready to greet each palace that has a different story? According to the theory, this palace explains why Kim, Lee and Park are the 3 most common family names in Korea. and it is quite fascinating. Let's check it out together
-
