Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokung Palace, and Jongmyo Shrine, Bukchon Heritage Village houses hundreds of traditional traditional homes called "hanok", dating back to the Joseon Dynasty. The neighborhood is just north of Seoul's main landmarks, and today many of these homes serve as cultural centers, guest houses, restaurants, and tea houses, providing visitors with the opportunity to experience, learn, and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture.
