Namsangol Hanok Village
Set among the skyscrapers, the Namsangol traditional Korean
village comes as a pleasant surprise. Centred on five restored
Korean historical homes depicting various social levels from the
Joseon Dynasty, the village is a time capsule in the midst of the
city with its peaceful pond and pavilion. Visitors can not only
explore the houses, but also enjoy traditional tea, shop for
souvenirs, browse traditional crafts, or try their hand at ancient
games like 'neolttwigi' (jumping on a see-saw) or arrow throwing.
At weekends in summer traditional wedding ceremonies are held at
midday.

accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards, but
Koreans traditionally prefer cash. ATMs at banks are usually
accessible only during banking hours, and instructions on the
