Nwijo (뉘조) is a Korean restaurant specializing in wild vegetable cuisine. The name ‘Nwijo’ means ‘the god of the silkworm,’ and likens wild vegetables to silkworms in that both can be eaten in their entirety. The restaurant serves original full-course Korean meals that are prepared using hundreds of kinds of wild vegetables, including special seasonal vegetables.
A typical full-course meal starts with delicious pumpkin porridge, followed by seasoned wild vegetables, root vegetable ssam (condiments wrapped in vegetable leaves), slices of boiled meat, and steamed lotus leaf-wrapped rice served with jjigae (Korean stew) and various side dishes. This kind of traditional feast is pleasing to both the eye and the palate and is topped off with sikhye (traditional sweet rice drink). Lunch specials are also available.

Jirisan is one of the representative Korean restaurants in Insa-dong, an area known for its traditional culture. One of the trademarks of this restaurant, besides its amazingly delectable bean and tofu dishes, is a wooden sign that welcome guests into a neat and cozy interior.
Each day, fresh beans are ground at the restaurant to prepare dishes such as soybean paste, soft tofu, and bean-curd tofu stew. Bean-curds are prepared by using seawater, which gives the tofu a unique flavor. The fresh and clean taste of the tofu is one of the many reasons that choosey tofu aficionados flock to the restaurant.
Not just limited to tofu, Jirisan presents customers with a full-range of side dishes such as kimchi, japchae (glass noodles with sautéed vegetables), cucumber kimchi, seasoned seaweed, braised lotus roots, roasted yellow corbinas (a type of fish), leafy greens, bean-curd stew, and more. The restaurant gives visitors a chance to experience a hearty traditional Korean-style meal, but has thoughtfully toned down its seasonings to appeal to a wider audience (particularly those not used to spicy foods).
One of the recommended menu items is the Jirisan set meal, which offers diners the chance to sample foods that are popular in the Jirisan region. Adventurous diners may want to try the sea urchin soup or dried Pollack soup.
The restaurant, originally a traditional Korean house, has been modified over the years to better suit the needs of its customers. The walls surrounding the structure were removed and a glass ceiling was installed to allow guests to enjoy the natural light of the sun as they sample some of the area’s best traditional Korean cuisine.

This is a traditional Korean restaurant serving food in attractive bowls. Its main dishes are steamed rice in bamboo and raw rice wine (Makgeolli). When you pour makgeolli into a glass which is brewed in the old way, your nose gets ticklish because of the smell of yeast. Steamed rice cooked with Indian millet, glutinous rice and beans in a bamboo stick, provides the delicious smell of bamboo.

El Parque Hyochang, de 122.245 metros cuadrados, está situado en Hyochang-dong y Cheongpa 2-dong. Es un lugar histórico, que antes contenía varias tumbas reales, era conocida en aquel entonces como Hyochangwon. Las tumbas, que estaban originalmente en Hyochangwon, son del príncipe heredero Munhyo (primogénito del rey Jeongjo, que fue muerto con solo 5 años), la Noble Consorte Real Uibin del Clan Seong (concubina real del rey Jeongjo y madre del príncipe heredero Munhyo), la Noble Cosorte Real Sugui del Clan Park (concubina real del rey Sunjo), y su hija, la princesa Yeongon. Las tumbas reales fueron trasladadas al cementerio real Seosamreung durante el período colonial japonés. En 1924, el Imperio Japonés implementó la renovación de Hyochangwon para convertirlo en un parque, y en 1940, el gobernador general japonés, oficialmente, designó este sitio como un parque.
En la actualidad, algunos de los grandes líderes coreanos están enterrados en el Parque Hyochang. La mayoría de los restos son de activistas independentistas frente a Japón, incluyendo Yoon Bong-gil, Lee Bong-chang y Baek Jeong-gi, cuyas sepulturas son colectivamente conocidas como “Samuisa-myo” (tumbas de los tres mártires). Una estatua de Lee Bong-chang se levanta en el cementerio. Otros mártires patriotas que están inhumados en el parque son Kim Koo y algunos de los personajes importantes del Gobierno Provisional de Corea, tales como Lee Dong-nyeong, Cha I-seok y Cho Seong-hwan. El santuario ancestral, llamado Uiyeolsa, se encuentra al lado de la puerta principal y cuenta con los retratos de los difuntos independentistas.
