点评:An atmospheric village in the heart of modern Seoul!
A wonderful place where traditional Korean architecture meets modern restaurants, charming cafés and unusual little shops. Almost every establishment has its own unique interior and character. You can spend hours walking around, discovering interesting details and enjoying the atmosphere!
I visited during Hangeul Day, a Korean national holiday, so the streets were full of people and celebrations. What surprised me most was seeing so many local families and Koreans of all ages enjoying this historic neighbourhood together.
My first recommendation: find a rooftop restaurant! Naturally, that was one of the first things I did. The view from above is fantastic! You can see the traditional rooftops and narrow streets surrounded by modern Seoul. It’s fascinating to understand how this little historic village fits into such a modern metropolis.
My second recommendation: come hungry! There are so many wonderful cafés, restaurants and bakeries. Try the local seafood, traditional buns and especially the pastries!
But be warned: Korean bakeries are extremely dangerous for your willpower! 😄 Everything looks so delicious that resisting is almost impossible. I barely managed to control myself! And of course, the coffee is excellent.
One small disappointment involved the seasonal fish, jeoneo (gizzard shad). I wanted to try this Korean autumn speciality, but the menu was only in Korean, and I accidentally ordered it raw. I tried it but couldn’t eat it. Unfortunately, the restaurant refused to grill the fish they had already served, so I had to order another portion, this time grilled. It was much tastier! Not everyone enjoys raw fish, and clearer menu descriptions would have helped. Personally, I’d save my bigger seafood adventures for the fish market in Busan!
My favourite tip: slow down and explore on foot. Wander through the little streets, visit unusual shops, enjoy the architecture, stop for coffee and watch local life.
For me, this is what makes travelling special: discovering places where history, culture, food and everyday life come together.
Beautiful, lively, unusual and incredibly delicious. Highly recommended!
翻译:首尔市中心一个充满韵味的村落!
这是一个绝妙的地方——传统的韩式建筑与现代餐厅、迷人的咖啡馆以及别具特色的小店在此交汇。几乎每家店铺都拥有独具特色的室内装潢与独特氛围。你可以花上数小时漫步其中,发现各种有趣的细节并沉浸在这种氛围里!
我在韩文日这天到访的,这是韩国的国庆日,因此街道上人头攒动,到处都是庆祝活动。最让我惊喜的是,看到这么多当地家庭以及各年龄段的韩国人一起在这个历史悠久的街区中享受时光。
我的第一个建议:去找一家屋顶餐厅吧!理所当然地,这也是我做的第一件事。从高处俯瞰的景色简直棒极了!你能看到传统的屋顶和狭窄的街道,周围则是现代首尔的繁华景象。能亲眼目睹这个充满历史气息的小村庄如何融入如此现代化的都市中,实在令人着迷。
我的第二个建议:带着空腹来吧!这里有好多很棒的咖啡馆、餐厅和面包店。一定要尝尝当地的海鲜、传统包子,尤其是各种糕点!
不过要提醒一下:韩国的面包店对意志力可是极大的考验哦!😄 所有的东西看起来都太美味了,几乎让人无法抗拒。我费了好大劲才控制住自己呢!当然,这里的咖啡也相当出色。
唯一有点遗憾的是当季鱼类——刀鱼。我本想尝尝这道韩国的秋季特色菜。不过菜单上只有韩文,我不小心点了一份生的。我尝了尝,但实在吃不下去。遗憾的是,餐厅拒绝为已经上桌的鱼进行煎烤处理,所以我不得不又点了一份,这次是煎烤过的。味道好多了!并不是所有人都喜欢生鱼片,如果菜单描述能更详细些就好了。就我个人而言,我打算把更“冒险”的海鲜体验留到釜山的鱼市再去尝试!
我最喜欢的建议就是:放慢脚步,步行探索吧。在那些小街小巷中漫步吧。去逛逛别具特色的商店,欣赏建筑风格,顺便喝杯咖啡,再看看当地人的生活百态。
对我而言,正是这些让旅行变得特别:发现那些历史、文化、美食与日常生活完美交融的地方。
美丽、充满活力、独具特色且美味至极。强力推荐!
