Then, a few minutes' walk brings you to Gwanghwamun Square, where there are giant statues of Yi Sun-sin and King Sejong. It's a pretty good spot for photos~

Second Stop: Bukchon Hanok Village

Next, about a 15-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung Palace takes you to Bukchon Hanok Village, a well-preserved traditional Hanok area. Winding alleys, quaint Korean-style houses, and occasional cafes make you feel like you've time-traveled. If you want to experience local attire, you can rent a Hanbok and embark on a 'time-travel' journey. The photos you take will definitely get lots of likes on your Moments!

Third Stop: Insadong Traditional Culture Street

At noon, head to Insadong, where you can experience Korean traditional culture and taste traditional Korean snacks like Korean pancakes, rice cakes, etc. Prices are usually between 30-50 RMB.

Fourth Stop: N Seoul Tower

In the afternoon, take the subway, bus, or taxi to N Seoul Tower, the best spot to overlook the entire Seoul. The ticket to the top is about 82 RMB.
