Seochon Village is an old hanok neighborhood located to the west of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The neighborhood is lined with modern shops but still contains the old-fashioned, nostalgic sentiment of the past. It was also a major hub for the literature and art community and you can still see traces of related workshops and attractions. Right by the village is Inwangsan Mountain, serving as a scenic backdrop to the quaint neighborhood.
