10 Things to do in Samcheong-dong That You Shouldn't Miss

January 18, 2022 Mikaela Didonna

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Had the best day doing a photo shoot wearing a Hanbok (Hanbok = traditional dress from my country of birth, South Korea) We spent the afternoon roaming Gyeongbokgung Palace with our wonderful photographer Hanwoo. Hanwoo also helps awkward people like me pose for photos and helps create the nicest shots! If you or anyone you know is in South Korea I highly recommend booking with Flowery Hanbok not only are they the nicest most welcoming people but they make the whole process so easy from choosing your Hanbok to getting your hair and make up done, they can also assign you a photographer. (Yes I made my husband participant!) ???? Special shout out to Miri and the lovely make up artist who were so lovely and kind. Couldn’t have ask for a better group of people to work with. This experience was the highlight to our time in Korea! Couldn’t recommend higher! Just a tip. Message their fb or Instagram to book at least a day in advance!! (They are so beautiful to deal with, you don’t be disappointed!) Pictures featured are by the photographer

Me and my family came across Hello Hanbok by chance while walking in the Hanok village area. It was almost 5pm but the sky was still bright outside. The friendly shop owner helped us find the hanbok we wanted quickly and did my hairdo (we could choose a normal braid or a half braid) so we still had the full 2 hours before the shop closes at 7pm. It was a fun and affordable experience! Just be aware not to wear any bright coloured shoes because it might show sometimes underneath the hanbok when you're taking photos. Good service in a welcoming shop with much nicer quality and prettier hanbok than other rental places we've passed through. Highly recommended!

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Seoul

Transport: Metro - line 3 to Anguk station. Exit 1 Facility Highlights: Exhibition Space, Museum Archive, Project Gallery Space, Media Theatre, Multipurpose Auditorium, etc. Description: The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea opens a new branch in 2013 at Gimusa, the former Defense Security Command site, built in early 20th century located near Gyeongbokgung at the heart of Seoul. Focusing on the Characteristic of the site that required an underground expansion, the construction plan adopted the madang(yard) concept, successfully integrating the exterior and interior of the building. The Seoul branch brings up a new discourse on the relationship between the public and the museum in an urban space, opening new possibilities for a future-oriented art museum of the twenty-first century. The site of Seoul branch once served as Jongchinbu(Office of Royal Family Affairs of the Joseon Dynasty), which was relocated to adjacent public library in 1981. the new plan includes restoring Jongchinbu to its original site, preserving the former Defense Security Command compound, and thereby establishing a meaningful cultural center that harmoniously embraces the historical Joseon Dynasty and modern Korean history.

Unfortunately due to Coronavirus, we can't visit the museum. This museum is beautiful if you are interested in modern and contemporary arts, this place is for you. My personal favorite artworks are Grandfather and Grandson by Park Su-geun, and Fighting Fowls by Lee Jung-seob. These are beautiful pieces. I recommend attending this museum.
