South Korea Again - Day 6 (Ihwa Village and Naksan Park)

Annyeong Haseyo!!!

Already on day 6! Time flies so fast.....

Okay, our first destination for today is NAKSAN PARK and IHWA VILLAGE, for Korean Drama addicts like me, this place has been featured and promoted in "ROOFTOP PRINCE" and in Korean Variety program 1 Night, 2 Days.

Directions:
Hyehwa Station (Subway line 4 , Exit 2), walk in 10 minutes.



Way to Naksan Park.... lovely trees ^^


Prepare yourself to walk uphill, as you can see the way to Naksan Park is so steep!


Mostly seen residential area in Korean Dramas

I just spotted some ahjummas preparing to make KIMCHI! Well Koreans love KIMCHI, I love Korea but I don't love KIMCHI that much ~kekekeke~





IHWA VILLAGE

This was featured in the Korean Drama ROOFTOP PRINCE episode 15 wherein Yong Tae Yong was tailing Park Ha ^^

NAKSAN PARK

We came here early, we only encounter few tourists and some group of students at the park, I guess they are experimenting/observing the plants there. ^^

Ihwa Village was also featured in the Korean variety program "1 Night 2 Days" ep 171, wherein Lee Seunggi got a mission.

The angel mural which became popular because of the said program was removed, well residents of Ihwa Village complain about it because lots of people came to take pictures day and night, some were so noisy and it disturbs people in the village!


continuation of Day 6 on next post.....
