Cheongun Literature Library:

Located at the foot of Inwangsan Mountain, Cheongun is Seoul’s first public hanok (traditional Korean house) library in Jongno-gu. Designed to harmonize with its natural, sloping surroundings, the structure is split into two levels—an underground concrete library and an upper hanok reading space. Nestled in nature, with views of Inwangsan’s forests, tranquility, and access to the 3 km literary walking trail featuring the Yun Dong‑ju Museum and Bukhansan Dulle‑gil. Great for hiking or a peaceful stroll post-reading. Hidden waterfall inside is a popular photo‑spot. Go early in the morning or afternoon to avoid crowds Bring a book or laptop—it’s easy to stay for hours here Combine with a walk: start at Gyeongbokgung Station → bus to Jahamun Pass → library → continue into Inwangsan Mountain or explore nearby Yun Dong‑ju Museum #awesomepic#couplestrip
