it’s all about handy craft and traditional Korea art. There are four storeys up!
I went to the famous Ssamzigil Shopping Mall (쌈지길) which is filled with artistic items. The nearest station to the mall is the Anguk Station (Exit 6). 🛍🚉
Teenagers and new cafes during the past COVID-19
Insadong is a vibrant and culturally rich neighborhood. Known for its traditional hanbok shops, art galleries, and tea houses, it offers a delightful glimpse into Korean heritage.
I visited Korea solo travel for the first time in 3 years ❤️ I visited the standard bakery "onion" and "KIWA TAPROOM" where I can drink Korean craft beer. At KIWA TAPROOM, he explained the beer carefully (I don't understand more than half because it's Korean. Lol) and I received a recommendation. It was a shop with a very nice atmosphere that let me sample new products.
Insadong, South Korea, this place is equivalent to a domestic pedestrian street. There are a lot of local special famous snacks, and it is also a private residential area. It is recommended that you can come here at night. There are so many people here at night.
Insadong has a lot of modified Hanok appearance, after the modification, changed cafes, restaurants, shops, even game facilities! There are many punch cards here!
