Day 4 - Back2Seoul, Bukchon

 South Korea 28Dec23~7Jan24

Woke at 645am on my own for this.
I wanted to visit the nearby Yongdusan Park for Busan tower.

No one on the streets at 730am






It was about 25mins walk to here (2.5km)

Be prepared to climb 5 flights of stairs to get to the top


























Finally found the Busan sign in front of Busan tower





















Checked-out of hotel by 9am to take our reserved KTX at 957am.





The platform was fixed early this time.




And the train was already parked at the platform









At Seoul station, we managed to take a taxi easily from the taxi stand.
Again, it took a while for the driver to figure out our destination - A house in Bukchon
It was difficult to maneuver up the slopy and narrow road among the houses, hence,
the driver dropped us off and let us walk up on our own.

Here is our Airbnb







We were allowed to check-in early as the room was available

On our way again. Will be walking around the area, Samcheongdong & Ikseongdong





We heard that it snowed heavily on 30th December, when we were in Busan 😔


Our airbnb is beside the cafe















Found our lunch place - Mukshidonna Samcheongdong






Started our shopping around the area after lunch








Dessert time - Samcheong Bingsu



Our first loots















On the way to Ikseongdong, we walked passed Unhyeongung 운현궁,
and went in to take a look. Entry is free












We walked for about 8mins to Ikseongdong

Very crowded because it was a weekend






Bought imitation fragance






Madang Flower café







Nakwon Station has a railtrack in the cafe















Not really hungry yet.. but we have to eat before getting back and the shops are closing soon.
This restaurant is recommended by Noi - Bukchon Samgyetang 북촌삼계탕
(near to Changdeokgung)
