Samcheong-dong

Starting from the stone wall road of Gyeongbokgung Palace to Samcheong-dong, the connecting stone wall of the palace will give you a special feeling.

This road covered with ginkgo leaves is always crowded with tourists.

Galleries converted from traditional Korean houses, modernly decorated cafes, and long-established restaurants are scattered neatly. Narrow alleys and ancient houses exude an ancient charm. What's more amazing is that many old houses operate galleries, unique small shops, coffee rooms, and teahouses. Each shop has its own creatively decorated style, and this mix of antiquity and fashion makes it very interesting to browse around.

The clothing and jewelry stores here are densely packed, and most of the shops are directly operated by designers. On the bustling streets, there are European-style cafes, restaurants, and bars everywhere, providing a comfortable and romantic resting space for people after shopping.
