Recently, I traveled to Seoul and noticed this newly opened hotel. Curious about the designer's aesthetic, I decided to stay there. This boutique hotel, full of design elements, is located in the vibrant Hongdae district. It's just a few minutes' walk from Hongdae Station, making it very convenient. The area is filled with great food, shopping, and nightlife options. The hotel's interior is stylish, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Some rooms offer views of Seoul's nightscape. The hotel also features high-quality restaurants, a café, and a gym, providing excellent facilities and attentive service. There are many aesthetically pleasing features within the hotel, such as the red spiral staircase chandelier, which is a popular photo spot among tourists.

The area in Seoul where you can best experience historical charm is Jongno, and Bukchon Hanok Village, adjacent to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace, is a must-visit for tourists. Connected to Bugaksan Mountain, the area is said to be a feng shui treasure with higher terrain in the north and lower in the south. Over 600 years ago, this was a 'luxury' settlement for the yangban (Korean aristocrats), and it has now become a popular tourist destination. The stone walls, blue tiles, and grand wooden gates form what is known as the Eight Views of Bukchon. In the past, commoners could only live in thatched houses, while nobles lived in warmer tiled houses equipped with ondol (underfloor heating) to withstand the cold northern winters. The interiors of traditional hanoks are lined with hanji (Korean paper) and have wooden frames to regulate temperature and humidity. The tour takes about two hours, and since there are many slopes, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. On the day of the visit, there were many noisy tour groups, and volunteers were stationed at several intersections to guide visitors. As this is a residential area, tourists are reminded to keep quiet. 🚗 Transportation: Anguk Station on Subway Line 3; or take Jongno 02 bus and get off at Bukchon Hanok Village Station. 📍 Address: Gyedong-gil, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea

The hotel opened in October 2023 and is located near Chungmuro Subway Station in downtown Seoul, about a 10-minute walk to Myeongdong Shopping Street. There are two 24-hour convenience stores and a coffee shop☕️ on the first floor of the hotel. Next to the hotel, there are also BBQ restaurants, fried chicken shops, and Korean knife-cut noodle shops, making it very convenient. The hotel staff are very friendly, and there is a self-check-in machine and a currency exchange machine. They can communicate in English. However, the luggage storage service is charged at 1,000 KRW per hour. I booked a family room, which was clean and tidy with full amenities, including a microwave, washing machine, refrigerator, etc. The soundproofing is also very good, and it is very quiet at night. The room door is accessed by entering a password. Highly recommended for families and travelers with children! 📍 Solago Myeongdong Hotel & Apartment Price: $480/night Address: 9, Chungmu-ro 2-gil, Jung-gu, 04556 Seoul Transportation: Exit 7 of Chungmuro Subway Station, Line 4, Seoul

Gwangjang Market in Seoul is a small world full of authentic Korean flavors and warmth. Every time you step in, you are surrounded by bustling vendors and steaming hot food, as if you have instantly entered a taste adventure. From traditional Korean pancakes and delicious gimbap to mouth-watering ready-to-eat dishes, this place always satisfies all your cravings for authentic snacks. In the market, the enthusiastic greetings from many vendors always make you feel very welcome. Especially when you meet the lady selling snacks and ginseng, who always greets every customer with a smile and warmly introduces the local delicacies, making you feel a sense of warmth. Want to taste classic Korean snacks, find handmade products, or bring back some local souvenirs? Gwangjang Market is definitely a must-visit spot in your Seoul travel!

In recent years, the most popular bread in Seoul is salt bread, in addition to London bagels. Believe me, after eating the salt bread of 아티스트베이커리, you will never want to eat the salt bread of Seongsu-dong again🤣 The salt bread of 아티스트베이커리 is really very very very delicious!!! And there are many varieties, both salty and sweet Each salt bread is full of fillings and the bread is very solid. It is not the kind of hollow bread. After eating one, I can't stop eating it and want to eat it again🙈 Every time I go there, the flavors I must buy are original and berry If the original flavor is to be eaten the next day, it will need to be heated Berry can be kept and it tastes just as good the next day. Although there is berry jam, it is not a very chemical sweet taste Other flavors such as lemon, chocolate, chive cheese or raw milk are also popular products in the store. I recommend them! But the drinks are quite ordinary, so you don’t need to order them. If you eat in the store, the seats are relatively small, so it is recommended to take out for faster service. 📍아티스트베이커리 안국 서울 종로구 율곡로 45 1층 #JanuaryGoodDestinations2025#Korea #SeoulItinerary #SaltBread

💞Recommended reasons: Bukchon Hanok Village allows you to visit traditional Korean houses and experience Korean culture. Wander in the alleys and take beautiful check-in photos. You can also rent hanbok and wear traditional costumes to take photos. history: The history of Bukchon Hanok Village dates back to the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), when it was the residence of royal nobles and officials. At the end of the 20th century, Bukchon Hanok Village was threatened with demolition and reconstruction. In order to protect this historical and cultural heritage, the government began protection and restoration work in the 1990s.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Insadong Moxy in Seoul has always been younger and more lively, and not too expensive. Located at exit 4 and 5 of Jongno 3-ga, there is a horse-drawn carriage stall nearby at night, which is very convenient and completely exceeded my expectations. The room type was upgraded to Oversize King bedroom, which has enough space to open two 29-inch luggages. The price is very affordable. The room is less than 150 feet, but the space design is very good and colorful. The standard room does not have a bathtub. The hotel facilities include washing machines, dryers and a gym on the 2nd floor. The bar and front desk are both on the 16th floor, and the welcome gift allows you to drink in the bar. My favorite is the breakfast, which is so rich, with many choices of dishes and the delicacy is beyond my expectation. There was smoked salmon, duck breast with pear, sweet rice wine, makgeolli, and dessert. The soups include truffle, miso, pumpkin, spicy pork soup... probably to sober up guests who are still hungover!

If you've visited Seoul Forest during the cherry blossom season in spring, forget about it when you see the park covered in a blanket of snow. It's a rare sight because even though it's winter, it doesn't snow every day, and heavy snowfall like this is even rarer. If you're in Korea and it snows, make sure to visit this park. The photos will turn out beautifully with the white backdrop. Many people come to play and build snowmen, but since the park is spacious, it's easy to find a spot for your photos. It's a delightful activity to enjoy.

1. Cheonggyecheon, Spectacular sunset, accompanied by live music and the soothing sound of water flowing. It’s hard to believe this peaceful spot is in the heart of Seoul, right in the middle of a busy traffic area. The stream meanders throughout alongside footpaths and places to sit and enjoy. 2. Namsan Park, You can taking a bus and reaching here afterwards. This place is the most beautiful and relaxing place ever. You can go by bus starts from Namsan Yejang Bus Parking Lot by Bus No. 01A or 01B and stops at last bus stop then walk 10 mins to the Namsan Tower. 3.

#0yentravelJanuary2025 A bakery cafe run by a chef from the three-star restaurant "MOSU" run by Chef Ahn Sung-jae, a popular judge on the popular Netflix show "Black and White Spoon: Cooking Class War". You have to try the hot dogs made with homemade sausages and bread! The sausage sandwiched between the bread with just the right texture is the best! Juicy and filling. The downside is that it's far from the station, but it's worth going! MILS 2, Ttukseom-ro 4-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul (21 1st and 2nd floors, Seongdong-gu, Seoul) 10:30~19:30
