K-Travel Photo Reel: Insadong

Insadong

Before embarking on my first South Korea vacation, I learned about Insadong through a Kim Rae Won movie.

Situated in the heart of the city, Insadong houses alleys that are seemingly art galleries for extensive and interesting displays of traditional items.

Along with those, traditional restaurants, cafes and teahouses abound in the thriving neighborhood.

If you are looking to experience a temple stay, you can head to Templestay Information Center.

On that note, Jogyesa Temple is a stone’s throw away from Insadong. That makes it a nice place to visit when you are in the area.

Don’t miss out Ssamzigil, a shopping mall specializing in crafts, if you intend to bring home some souvenirs for your loved ones.
