The story of Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon has been home to aristocrats and officials since the Joseon dynasty, sitting between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung palaces. Its hanok houses have curved tiled roofs, wooden frames and inner courtyards.
Because of overtourism, the city has introduced visiting hours in parts of the village. Some houses are cultural centres, guesthouses and craft workshops.
