Enjoy Traditure
Insa-dong
Insa-dong is place that you can shopping Korean traditional item. You can see original traditional items that like ceramics, fan, Hanbok, and also see fusion traditional items that like quilt pencil case.
In addition, occasionally you can heard playing traditional music at entrance of Insa-dong. Not only Korean music but also playing world instruments. So you can say that Insa-dong is culture street, not only shopping street simply.

Shopping
- Ssamziegil
Ssamziegil is the best place that for shopping Korean traditional items. Round and round to go up like snail is fun, and while go up you can see many stores that next to you.
I especially recommend ‘poo shape bread’ and ‘sticker photo’. Poo shape bread is filled with red bean, and it is cheap(1000 won). It will provide you fun and taste. Sticker photo is take a photograph with Korean traditional dress ‘Hanbok’. If you want to leave memories in Korea, I recommend this.
See & Drink
- Gyeongin Museum
Gyeongin museum is space with sight and food. When you see museum and come out there, you can drink Korean traditional tea in cafe.
I recommend ‘Sikhye’ in many traditional tea. Sikhye is traditional drink that made from rice, it taste sweet. When you order tea, you can drink tea with ‘Yukwa’ that is Korean traditional snack. ‘Yukwa’ is also made from rice, so vegetarian can eat it too.
Although many other traditional teas, may be there are tea that is not to your taste. So I recommend Sikhye that is most easy.
