Seoul is a city where ancient palaces and the Korean Wave dance together. Four days and three nights, between the palace and the Han River, you encounter a city where old and new overlap.
The changing of guards at Gwanghwamun at Gyeongbokgung Palace is a must-see ceremony, with the red robe and ceremonial guard restoring the majesty of the Joseon Dynasty. Passing through Geunjeongjeongjeong, you realize that Seoul's "ancient" is separated from the modern by only a wall.
People still live in Bukcun Hanok Village, with traditional courtyards and cafes nearby. Wearing a full set of hanbok for photos, old alleys and trendy ones reconcile in the same frame.
Myeongdong and Hongdae are at the forefront of trends, with beauty, trendy brands, and street performances running day and night. Having a picnic at Han River Park at night, enjoying fried chicken and beer while watching the bridge lights, is the happiness formula for Seoul residents.
From the top of N Seoul Tower, the entire city stretches out beneath your feet, with the Han River flowing like a jade belt. Seoul at night is so gentle it hardly feels like a capital.
Seoul's trend is about living tradition with a sense of design. When you drink coffee in a hanok and watch the sunset over the Han River, you'll understand: the old and the new can elegantly coexist in the same frame.
