It was such a fun and informative space that I wondered if there was such a place in Jongno-gu. I had so much fun taking pictures, looking around, and experiencing things that I didn't even realize how much time had passed. There were many experience spaces and photo zones, and it was so fun because it had an old-fashioned atmosphere^^ It's a great place to go on a date with your family or lover in the winter! #PleaseWinter #SeoulDate #SeoulTravel #PlacesToVisitInKorea #SoloTravel

1️⃣My Citywalk starts from a unique coffee shop☕️——Mail Room. This store is themed after a retro post office and is decorated with stamps and envelopes. When you order a cup of fragrant latte, you can instantly feel the Seoulese’s dedication to details. 2️⃣I went to learn the gayageum, a traditional Korean musical instrument. This instrument is quite similar to the Chinese guzheng, but its tone is softer and clearer. Under the guidance of the teacher, I tried playing a few notes and felt the elegance and ancient charm contained in them. 3️⃣At noon, I walked into the Kwak Uimun Museum to gain a deeper understanding of the charm of Korean traditional architecture. This museum perfectly presents the life scenes of ancient Korean aristocrats. The exquisite wooden structure and courtyard layout reflect the ancient Korean pursuit of harmony between nature and life. 4️⃣In the afternoon, we visited 1960 Coffee Shop. This store is full of retro sentiments, and the furnishings and music have a strong 1960s style. It seems to travel through time and space and dialogue with the urban culture of that year. Take a break here, sip a cup of unique cold brew coffee, and experience the slow pace of Seoul. 5️⃣In the evening it was shopping time, and I came to Shinsegae Department Store (Shinsegae). This modern mall not only offers a rich selection of merchandise, but its exquisite displays and services are also impressive. Take a small bag and take a stroll to savor the fashion and convenience of modern Seoul. 6️⃣At night, I came to the lively night market to end the day's trip. At the smoky food stalls, I tried traditional Korean delicacies: fried chicken, spicy rice cakes and pancakes. Every bite made my taste buds dance. On this day, I not only appreciated the traditional culture of Seoul, but also experienced the city’s unique charm of coexisting modernity and retro.

#Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event This is an exhibition of police inspections. Inspections were a system implemented in 1919, where the police inspected lodging facilities. They checked the personal information of the guests in the guest list provided at the hotel. I went to see the inspection list, entry and exit inspection records, and guest list used at that time~

#cherryblossom2024 The Donuimun Museum Village in Seoul, South Korea, was a charming discovery on my spring vacation! 🏛️ Tucked away in the bustling Jongno-gu district, the entrance fee was surprisingly affordable, around 5,000 KRW per person. As I wandered through the cobblestone streets of this living museum, I felt like I had stepped back in time to Seoul's past. The beautifully preserved hanok houses and traditional workshops offered a glimpse into Korea's rich cultural heritage. I especially enjoyed interacting with artisans demonstrating traditional crafts like pottery and weaving. Nearby attractions include the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace, where visitors can immerse themselves in Korean royal history, and the lively Insadong neighborhood, known for its art galleries and traditional teahouses. The Donuimun Museum Village was a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of modern Seoul! #DonuimunMuseumVillage #Seoul #KoreanCulture 🏯🎨
