Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul
Seoul is a mixture of ultra modern and ancient and what better place to capture both sides of the city than in Bukchon Hanok Village. The village stands on a hill, close to the Jongmyo Royal Shrine, Changdeok Palace and Gyeongbok Palace. The origins date back 600 years and the narrow, winding alleyways give a true impression of Korean Life. Even better, the modern skyline of the city can be viewed on the horizon.
