History
Eunpyeong Hanok Village + Temple
Overview
While thousands of tourists crowd the narrow alleys of Bukchon every morning, an entire quiet valley of timber-and-tile hanoks rests almost undisturbed beneath the granite cliffs of Bukhansan. Here, the air carries the resinous scent of fresh red pine, and the backdrop is not office towers, but sheer mountain rock. It is the Seoul most travellers picture, located right where the subway ends and the national park begins.
