On Film : Ikseondong

Nestled amidst the bustling streets of central Seoul, Ikseon-dong Hanok Village offers a unique glimpse into Korea’s past while embracing the vibrancy of modern life. Unlike the more famous Bukchon Hanok Village, Ikseon-dong remains a lesser-known gem, where traditional Korean hanok houses sit side by side with trendy cafes, boutique shops, and artisanal galleries. In this blog, we’ll explore the captivating blend of history, culture, and contemporary flair that makes Ikseon-dong an unforgettable destination for both locals and travelers alike. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or just in search of a peaceful escape from the city’s fast pace, Ikseon-dong promises a charming and enriching experience. There are several spots for you to take a break, but if there is one I can recommend, it would be the railway themed Nakwon, with its train asthetics and conveyor belt of desserts, of the best spot for a break!

So, let’s dive in and discover why this hidden village is quickly becoming one of Seoul’s must-see spots!
