Seoul Photo Gallery - Ikseondong

Ikseondong is a maze of narrow streets with many hanok houses that have been converted into trendy shops and restaurants. Just a short walk from the palaces, the century-old village was destined to be redeveloped but local residents fought to preserve the 1920s architecture, with young entrepreneurs moving in to make something unique. This area is next to the popular Insadong shopping street, although I liked the atmosphere here a bit more - intimate, historic, and interesting.
