Seoul, South Korea⑤ | Joseon Dynasty Architecture - Namsangol Hanok Village
🔝After lunch, I first visited 📍Namsangol Hanok Village. To me, this place felt somewhat boring (years ago, I was not interested in Korea's historical and cultural buildings).
However, maybe if I go now, I would appreciate the different functions of the buildings, and the experience might be better during festivals with folk activities. Namsangol Hanok Village brings together 5 selected Joseon Dynasty hanoks from Seoul, which have been relocated and restored (this way of concentrating them for easy viewing is commendable), forming a very charming cultural space.
Namsangol Hanok Village has both the residences of the ruling class from the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910) - the Yangban, and the living houses of the common people, with the scale of the houses and the arrangement of furniture completely recreating the original scene.
🏯🏯🏯The five hanoks are:
1⃣The maternal home of Queen Sunjeonghyo Yoon (the wife of the 27th king of Joseon, Sunjong. There is a widely spread story: pro-Japanese forced Sunjong to stamp the 'Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty', but the queen hid the royal seal in her skirt and refused to hand it over);
2⃣The hermitage of Haengbok Prefectural Lord Yoon Je-ro (the father-in-law of the 27th king of Joseon, Sunjong);
3⃣The residence of Vice Minister Park Yeong-hyo (the husband of Princess Wonsu, the daughter of the 25th king of Joseon, Cheoljong, and a court lady);
4⃣The residence of Master Carpenter Lee Seung-yeop (the chief carpenter and construction supervisor of one of the Joseon royal palaces, Gyeongbokgung);
5⃣The mansion of Military Officer Kim Chun-young (a military man from the Joseon era).
I almost "get lost" to visit Namsangol Hanok Village!After get my friend reminder, I just realized need view the signboard on the road (photo 1)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. There is very beautiful and traditional building along the road. But, we need be silent when visit there due to still got people stay inside those building.It's so pity, I'm unable view from the top at Namsangol Hanok due to reached there over 6pm.However, I've enjoyed the high tea nearby there.😍😍
Underrated hanok village in seoul because people usually go to Bukchon instead. This one isn't as big but its so nice too here and closer to Namsan Tower!
This place in Hanok Village, South Valley, South Korea, is worth visiting, because this place reflects some of the previous Korean residents' living conditions, and it is restored according to 1 to 1. I feel that coming here to visit can better understand the Korean folk customs.
As the name implies, it is located in the South Valley, a village composed of several Hanoks. It is located in the Nanshan Park area at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. This area where Hanok Village is located has been famous for building Quanyu Pavilion in the valley of the creek and as a summer resort and amusement park since the Korean era. Hanok Village in Chang'an City has restored 5 traditional Korean houses with pavilions and lotus ponds. It is free to the public. It makes it a good place for the surrounding residents to take a walk and rest. Hanok Village in the South Valley consists of traditional Korean houses and courtyards. The traditional Korean in Seoul city and suburbs will be opened to the public. The house was rebuilt according to the original construction. Each house has its own allusion. If you take the subway, you will get off at Zhongwu Road Station.
It is said that it was the place where Subangsa was located during the Japanese Empire, and it is said that Yuguan Sunyeolsa was tortured! This is the place where Hanok was moved to this place while developing Seoul City. The Hanok Village harmonized with spring flowers is beautiful 💕
