Eunpyeong Hanok Village & Temple Walk Local Tour

👋 Hello!

I am a local resident who has lived in northwest Seoul for a long time.

Since I was young, I've often visited areas around Seodaemun-gu and Eunpyeong-gu with my family,

and I still love the quiet neighborhood atmosphere, mountains/valleys, and walks along the Han River in this area.

I usually work as a developer, but recently I've been preparing to start a business and doing new things.

Another hobby of mine is photography. I enjoy taking natural travel photos while walking, so if you wish, I can also take photos of you with a Hanok or temple as a backdrop.

🌿 Let's spend time together like this

This itinerary is a time to experience Seoul's quiet traditional Hanok residential area and nature together.

We will walk through the Hanok village at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain,

visit a temple with nearly a thousand years of history to enjoy traditional tea,

and finally, have lunch at a hidden Korean restaurant.

This course allows you to experience the comforting healing provided by Bukhansan's nature and temples, which are at the heart of Seoul.

📍 Meeting Point

We will meet at Yeonsinnae Station Exit 3

and head towards Eunpyeong Hanok Village.

🏡 Eunpyeong Hanok Village Walk

Eunpyeong Hanok Village is a modern Hanok village located at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain.

It's a village created by reinterpreting traditional Hanok architecture in a modern way,

and it's a place where you can see quiet and beautiful scenery even within Seoul.

While slowly walking through the Hanok alleys,

• Stories about Hanok structures

• Stories about Seoul's residential culture

• Neighborhood atmosphere

we will walk and share stories like these.

🛕 Jingwansa Temple — A Temple at the Foot of Bukhansan Mountain

Jingwansa Temple is an old temple founded during the Goryeo Dynasty,

situated at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain, giving a strong sense of being with nature.

Even within Seoul, there are not many places where you can feel such a mountain-like temple atmosphere.

While slowly looking around the temple,

we will also briefly introduce Korean Buddhist culture and stories about the temple.

🍵 Temple Teahouse

Inside the temple, there is a small teahouse where you can drink traditional tea.

Here, we will take a short break and

• traditional tea

• simple refreshments

• Patbingsu (red bean shaved ice) or Patjuk (red bean porridge)

enjoy these and spend time chatting.

Tea drunk in the mountains provides a completely different atmosphere from a city cafe.

🍽️ Local Lunch

Lunch will be enjoyed together at a nearby local restaurant.

Depending on the weather or guest's preference,

• Baeksuk (boiled chicken) eaten by the stream

• Hanjeongsik (traditional Korean set meal)

you can choose from these options.

For those new to Korean food,

I will briefly explain what each dish is.

⏰ When is the best time to start?

It is best to start this course at 9 AM.

This is because the Hanok village and temple are most quiet and beautiful in the morning.

🌸 Recommended Seasons

This course includes natural scenery, so

spring, autumn, and winter are the best.

• Spring: Fresh greenery around Bukhansan

• Autumn: The autumn foliage is truly beautiful
