The Moon Guesthouse is situated near a number of interesting tourist destinations including Unhyeongung Palace (3min on foot), Bukchon Hanok Village (5min on foot), Changdeokgung Palace (5min on foot), and Changgyeonggung Palace (10min on foot). The guesthouse was named ‘moon’ (‘door’ in English) because it has many 176 doors and windows. Upon entering by the gate, visitors will see a ‘ㄷ’-shaped hanok building in the courtyard, in which a wooden bedstead and a table are placed. On the opposite of the hanok building there is a wall roofed with tiles engraved with Korean patterns such as deer, pine, turtle, etc. Flowers in the flowerbed lined up along the wall are in bloom and the bonsai are also well-kept in the house. Renovated and opened as a guesthouse in September 2011, Moon Guesthouse consists of a bonchae (main building) and a byeolchae (detached house). The rooms are decorated with red clay and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees), and have under-the-floor heating (ondol). Each room is equipped with an air-conditioner, and has a 40cm-thick layer of red clay over the ceiling for insulation, making the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. The house has seven individual guestrooms and five modern bathrooms, but the entire building (bonchae or byeolchae) can be rented, too. In particular, the unhyeondang of the bonchae is very popular as it can be converted into one large space for special events, group workshops, etc. simply by opening all the sliding doors (Bunhapmun – Goryeo construction style). This room, which is decorated with a flower-patterned windscreen, a landscape painting, and calligraphy, has been used as a shooting location for various TV programs including KBS2’s TV reality program Man’s Qualification and its variety show The Human Condition. The guestrooms are also equipped with traditional furniture including a cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The guesthouse also provides a variety of experience programs from 11am to 3pm, including tea ceremony, wearing Hanbok (traditional Korean clothes), making kimchi and gochujang (red chili paste), playing a traditional musical instrument, making a rubbing of a stone inscription, calligraphy, drawing orchids on a fan, and so on. The house has about seventy hanbok and other clothing accessories, as well as a royal costume. Its calligraphy and drawing orchid programs are run directly by the owner, who used to work as a classical Chinese teacher at a high school.

La Catedral Católica de Myeong-dong es el corazón de las iglesias católicas de Corea y el símbolo tradicional de la zona de Myeong-dong. Las razones por la que muchísima gente visita este lugar, sin importar la fe que profese, es por la magnífica edificación arquitectónica y su interior, y, por supuesto, por la ubicación central, ya que se encuentra en la zona comercial más famosa de la ciudad de Seúl.
El diseño interior al estilo gótico es muy atractivo. La construcción comenzó en el año 1892 y se completó en mayo de 1898. La empinada torre, cuya altura es de 45 metros, sobresale por encima de los demás edificios de sus inmediaciones. Todos los edificios pertenecientes a la basílica fueron hechos de ladrillo, pero varían en la forma y color. Si pasa frente a la figura de Cristo que se yergue en el frente de la catedral e ingresa a ella, verá las magníficas columnas internas, las ventanas en vitró y el lujoso altar. Si gira sobre sus pies y mira hacia atrás, observará el lugar del coro y el órgano de tubos en el piso 2. Seguramente, sentirá a flor de piel el ambiente serio del catolicismo.
En el subsuelo hay una pequeña capilla y los mausoleos de los mártires. En la Víspera de Navidad, se realiza una misa solemne de medianoche en esta Catedral de Myeong-dong.

A popular attraction since the early 1970’s, this rather shabby and hard-to-spot restaurant has attracted many customers with its representative menu item, haemul kalguksu (seafood noodle soup). The soup is delicious and plenty enough for a hearty meal compared to its relatively low price. The noodles are chewy as they are freshly prepared every day and the clam-broth soup is full of flavor. The appearnce of this restaurant may seem old, but it's a recommended spot for a simple and delicious meal.
