The terrace situated on the first floor offers an open view of the surrounding area including roof tiles of hanok structures and alleyways in Seochon. It is said that Korean novelist Yoon Hu-myeong also appreciated the structure of the guesthouse, saying, “It is an interesting place.” Built in the 1930s, the house, which has many storage places, was taken by the owner couple in spring 2014 as they were attracted by the house during their trip to Seochon. After the repair work, the ground floor of the house was opened for guests from January 2016, hoping that guests could share their daily experiences and stories with each other. The guestrooms and the main floored room on the ground floor are open to guests, with the exception of the first floor, which is used by the owner couple. The living room is equipped with books, a curved TV, and a table. The tasty meal, which is served in the kitchen, consists of rice and soup with six side dishes and is much loved by guests.

Every room has its separate charm with various comfortable bedding to provide a quiet and cozy bedroom for guests in the middle of the city. Furthermore, the guesthouse holds a pansori (epic chant) performance twice a year. The owner started learning how to sing pansori to promote the Korean culture and tradition to foreigners.

Situé à la périphérie du Mont Bugak, ce parc fut le premier en Corée à être officiellement désigné par cette appellation. Le nom de Samcheong (« Les Trois Bleus ») fait référence aux trois idéaux dans le Taoïsme que les hommes peuvent atteindre. Entouré de cerisiers plantés il y a fort longtemps, le parc fourmille de touristes tous les mois d’avril lorsqu’ils sont en pleine floraison. Le parc propose de nombreuses installations : des courts de tennis et de badminton, une aire de jeux, un snack, et une aire de repos polyvalente.

La principale piste de randonnée à travers le Parc Samcheong connecte ce dernier à celle des Murs de la Forteresse de Séoul du Mont Bugak, source d’eau minérale à Seongbuk-dong, et Waryong. Pendant la randonnée, vous tomberez sur Malbawi, un excellent endroit choisi par la Municipalité de Séoul d’où vous pourrez avoir une vue d’ensemble sur la ville. Le Programme de Visite du Site Historique Malbawi, géré par l’Office de Jongno-go, fournit aux enfants et aux adultes l’opportunité d’apprendre sur l’écologie naturelle du Parc Samcheong et sur l’histoire des Murs de la Forteresse de Séoul grâce à des guides désignés. A travers les routes développées dans Samcheong-dong, vous pourrez facilement jusqu’à Seongbuk-dong. En ce moment, le Tunnel Samcheong près du parc relie les deux localités.
