Namsangol Hanok Village: Seoul’s Cultural Hideaway Among the Hills

#seoulspots Walking into Namsangol Hanok Village felt like entering a peaceful chapter of Korea’s history. Nestled at the base of Namsan Mountain, the village features beautifully restored hanok homes that showcase traditional architecture and lifestyle from the Joseon era. I admired the calm courtyards, quiet pavilions, and flowing pond that reflect timeless elegance. Cultural performances and hands-on activities added a lively touch—perfect for all ages. Folk games, craft demonstrations, and traditional attire brought the past to life. Just minutes from Seoul’s busy streets, Namsangol offers a tranquil escape that blends heritage, nature, and community in perfect harmony.
