"A historic enclave of centuries-old hanok homes offers an intimate window into Korea’s architectural and cultural heritage; it’s where the movie stages Rumi and Jinu’s secret dates, and it sits beside Gyeongbokgung Palace." - Ali Wunderman
"A tightly knit area of traditional hanok houses that functions as a popular tourist destination for architecture, shopping and food; it showcases the wooden joinery and low-slung tiled roofs of historic Korean dwellings, hosts converted hanoks used as contemporary retail spaces, and offers street snacks like candied sweet potatoes alongside long-standing shops and small artisan food vendors." - Thessaly La Force
"Visiting this 600 year old Korean village feels like a portal to another world."
