点评:Ikseon-dong Hanok Village was one of the many highlights of our trip to Seoul, so much so that we visited four times during our 12-day stay. It is a charming neighbourhood, offering quite the mix of past and present charm, making it well worth a visit.
Ikseon-dong is relatively small but packed with character. It’s within walking distance of Insa-dong and easily accessible. The narrow alleyways are lined with hanoks—traditional Korean houses—that have been thoughtfully repurposed into cafes, tea houses, boutiques, restaurants and more. Like most visitors, we discovered something new and eclectic with each turn in this maze-like area, from quaint coffee shops (South Koreans LOVE their coffee), to restaurants, bars, themed eateries, boutiques and surprisingly a shooting club (Ikseon Shooting Club)… All of which we visited.
The neighbourhood’s blend of traditional architecture and modern concepts creates an atmosphere that is both lively and relaxed. It’s also a dream for photography enthusiasts (read Instagram crowd), with plenty of unique spaces waiting to be captured.
I have to say, despite being a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, it didn’t (and doesn’t) feel over-commercialized, and prices, in all instances we encountered, were reasonable considering the location.
As many would point out, the area does tend to get crowded, particularly on weekends. However, it adds to the atmosphere and we found this to be minor inconvenience, once out of the 4 times we visited.
Ikseon-dong combines history and modern life in a way that we found hard to resist. If you’re in Seoul, it’s definitely worth the time to explore.
翻译:益善洞韩屋村是我们首尔之旅的众多亮点之一,以至于我们在 12 天的逗留期间去了四次。这是一个迷人的街区,融合了过去和现在的魅力,非常值得一游。
益善洞相对较小,但充满特色。它距离仁寺洞仅几步之遥,交通便利。狭窄的小巷两旁排列着韩屋——传统的韩国房屋——它们被精心改造成咖啡馆、茶馆、精品店、餐厅等。和大多数游客一样,我们在这个迷宫般的区域每次转弯都会发现一些新奇而又不拘一格的东西,从古雅的咖啡馆(韩国人喜欢他们的咖啡),到餐厅、酒吧、主题餐厅、精品店,还有令人惊讶的射击俱乐部(益善射击俱乐部)……我们都参观了。
这个街区融合了传统建筑和现代概念,营造出一种既活泼又轻松的氛围。这里也是摄影爱好者(Instagram 粉丝)的梦想之地,有许多独特的空间等待拍摄。
我不得不说,尽管益善洞是当地人和游客都喜欢去的地方,但它并没有(现在也没有)感觉过度商业化,而且考虑到地理位置,我们遇到的所有情况下的价格都很合理。
正如许多人指出的那样,该地区确实会变得拥挤,尤其是在周末。然而,这增加了气氛,我们发现这只是一个小小的不便,我们去过 4 次,只有一次。
益善洞将历史与现代生活结合在一起,我们很难抗拒。如果你在首尔,这里绝对值得你花时间去探索。
