Baekbin Railroad Crossing
(a.k.a. Ttaeng-Ttaeng Street)
Trains cutting through a street are rare in Seoul nowadays. As a result, Baekbin Railroad Crossing has become a popular tourist destination. It is also known as Ttaeng-Ttaeng Street because of the warning bell that sounds every time a train comes. The place became widely known after appearing in the drama 'My Mister' and several movies.
