Peek into traditional Korea - the houses are beautiful but you have to be quiet as it's a residential area and people actually live there

Serene Yee

Lovely, scenic walks where cherry blossoms trees line the roads and little alleyways as one explores architecture and art . Quaint cafes , little shops, big shops, restaurants and bakeries await.

Raven Amos

General speaking, it's more like a high end residential on the hill overlook a part of Seoul, than a transitional village you assumed. There are many shops, cafes and restaurants near by.

To get here take Exit 2, and walk straight until you reach the next (major) crossing. The tourist information center is at your right hand side. You can start your tour there.
