Korean Bukchon Hanok Traditional Village

Located between Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, and the Jongmyo Shrine, Bukchon Hanok Village is a place with a high concentration of traditional Korean houses and is also the most representative traditional residential area in Seoul. There are many historical sites, cultural heritage, and folk materials everywhere. Therefore, it is called the street museum in the city center. The characteristics of the Hanok in Bukchon can be summarized as "evolving old methods" and "decorative tendencies". Although it lacks some of the traditional Hanok's complete features, such as lower roof slopes, round beams, double eaves, and narrow but numerous rooms, the Bukchon Hanok embodies the structural and aesthetic beauty of Hanok. From the advertisements of Hanok at that time, it reflected the requirements of urban housing such as density and anonymity, and as a new type of urban housing, the Hanok in Bukchon continued to develop.
