Seochon Guest House is located in Seochon, which is becoming a hot place for tourists in Seoul, and precisely on the road to Suseong Valley, whichis filled with interesting stores and is also well-known for Park Nosoo Art Gallery and the House of Yun Dong-ju (poet). Seochon Guest House is nicknamed ‘Jaeminangol (interesting village)’ after Baekseok’s poem ‘Yeowunangol’, with the aim of providing a visit full of interesting experiences. Passing through a garden and entering the main building, the unique charm of this hanok building, the staircase to get to the first floor from daecheong (main floored room), catches the eye of the visitors. In addition, the building is decorated with various stylish objects including paintings and Korean musical instruments. 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. The guesthouse offers a total of four rooms – Jae Room, which is the most Korean-style room; Mi Room, which has a combined style of a Korean-style room and Western-style room; Nan Room, which is an ideal room for meditation with a beautiful paper window; and Ahn Room, which is equipped with a veranda and a pretty flowerbed. 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. When a pansori performance is held, the owner offers traditional Korean snacks and drinks including sikhye (sweet rice punch), sujeonggwa (cinnamon punch), traditional sweets and cookies, and tteok (rice cakes) to visitors, tourists, and performers. Moreover, it provides cultural programs such as a Gukak (Korean classical music) experience, Korean traditional clothes experience, and making Korean food experience, as well as other activities with guests, such as trip to the city wall between Inwangsan Mountain and Bugaksan Mountain, and the Royal Palace Tour to Gyeongbokgung Palace, etc., as well as a trip to a traditional market.

Mont Inwangsan (인왕산)

+82-2-2148-2834

Le mont Inwangsan abrite toujours les terrains rituels du roi Taejo et Muhakdaesa, ainsi que les remparts construits dans la périphérie de Séoul, qui s’étendent du tunnel de Sajik jusqu’à la porte de Jahamun. De nombreuses personnes aiment faire de la randonnée sur le sentier qui démarre du tunnel de Sajik et conduit au sommet de la montagne, puis longe les remparts pour aboutir à Buamdong. Le parcours de randonnée est également relié à la route qui se trouve devant Cheongwadae, ce qui permet aux randonneurs de visiter des monuments historiques comme les routes de Palpan et de Hyoja, ainsi que le palais de Gyeongbok. Le sentier de randonnée situé derrière le parc de Sajik conduit à Hwanghakjeong, où les archers de la dynastie Joseon faisaient montre de leur adresse au tir. Hwanghakjeong se trouvait à l’origine dans le palais de Gyeongbok, mais il a été déplacé dans la montagne. Le sommet offre une vue panoramique des environs, avec au centre le palais de Gyeongbok, et s’étend aussi loins que les montagnes Nak, Nam et Baegaksan.

L’itinéraire de randonnée qui longe les remparts est apprécié pour la beauté des paysages que les promeneurs peuvent admirer tout en escaladant la montagne. En suivant le passage qui se trouve à l’intérieur des remparts, on peut apercevoir une volée de marches de pierre après avoir dépassé Changuimun. En montant ces marches, le passage fait un coude vers l’extérieur des remparts. Il continue pendant 200 m et conduit vers un amoncellement de rochers autrefois utilisé pour bâtir des châteaux pendant le règnes des rois Taejo, Sejong et Sukjong. L’épaisse mousse sombre qui recouvre ces pierres témoigne de la longue histoire de Séoul. Le passage mène également au château de Tangchundae. Celui-ci a été construit pour renforcer les defenses de la ville après l’invasion japonaise de 1592 et la guerre contre les Mandchous en 1636.

Le mont Inwangsan culmine à une hauteur de 338,2 m et couvre les quartiers de Honghedong dans l’arrondissement de Seodaemungu ainsi que Muakdong, Nusangdong, Ogindong et Buamdong qui se trouvent à Jongnogu. Des formations rocheuses uniques et colossales, ainsi que la vue sur Séoul et Cheongwadae représentent quelques-uns des nombreux charmes du mont Inwangsan.

Nunnamujip is famous for a North Korean dish called, “Kimchi mari guksu”, which is a noodle dish in cold kimchi soup containing toasted laver, a boiled egg, and sesame. The soup is refreshingly cold and a little spicy. For “Kimchi mari bap”, a bowl of rice is put into cold kimchi soup instead of noodles. The taste is very unique. In addition to Kimchimari, “Tteokgalbi” is a popular dish on the menu as well.

The main restaurant is located in the basement, which has only limited seating capacity with a few tables. As a result, many people usually wait in line for lunch or dinner. A second franchise has opened in a three-story building across the street. To enjoy a quaint atmosphere, the first establishment is better, but the new one’s interior design is much more modern and fancier, giving it a fresh altering look.

Darakjeong (다락정)

131-1, Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
+82-2-725-1697

Darakjeong has been popular for a long time because of the simple taste of its traditional Mandu (Korean stuffed dumpling). Since its opening in 1991, tasty soup and scrumptious Mandu have been served. A fist-sized Mandu is fully packed with seasoned meat, bean-curd, and various vegetables. Its thick dough makes it chewy and delightful. For one person, “Manduguk”(boiled dumpling soup) is a good choice. The delicious and nourishing taste of Mandu goes well with the sweet, spicy, and fresh taste of the soup. Manduguk is served in a brass bowl which keeps the food warm while eating. For a large-size group, “Mandujeongol” cooked with various vegetables in a casserole is recommended. There are two types of Mandujeongol that have different tastes. The main characteristic of “Kimchi Mandujeongol” is its spicy flavor, which reminds people of the refreshing taste of Kimchi soup, and “Tojang Mandujeongol” expounds on the savory taste of bean-paste soup. Tojang means folk soybean-paste. “Nokdujeon”(a Korean pan-fried dish with green mung bean) is another famous dish at Darakjeong, which is pan-fried with a very light seasoning to emphasize the original taste of Nokdu (green mung bean). Salted oysters with hot pepper are served with Nokdujeon instead of soy sauce, which is a perfect match.
