The Fairy Tale Town Surrounded by Murals—Ehwa Mural Village

Ehwa Mural Village is located in the Ihwa-dong area of Jongno District, Seoul. It is a distinctive street and has become well-known for its frequent appearances in Korean dramas. Fans of Korean dramas should not miss out on Ehwa Village, which has been the filming location for many series, and is commonly referred to by locals as the 'Art Village'. It is said that Ehwa Mural Village (이화벽화마을) used to be a poor hillside village. Later, the Seoul city government brought in more than 70 artists to decorate the area, resulting in the beautiful murals we see today—including the Ehwa Stairs. The village is located on the east side of Naksan Park and is built along the hillside. The steps going up and down, as well as the walls beside them, are adorned with various patterns painted by artists. You will see the chibi version of the Avengers at the entrance, stairs scattered with flowers, and a 'puppy' peeking out from the walls of the houses. The mural stairs were even featured in the Korean idol drama 'Rooftop Prince', where the crown prince himself visited.
