Insa-dong, a place to experience Korea's past


It could be said that Seoul is representative of Korea, but it has grown too much like the other great cities of the world to say that it is of Korean culture alone. Starbucks coffee shops and sushi restaurants dot busy streets, movie theatres show newly released films from Hollywood, jazz music flows in the streets, and youngsters dress in hip-hop fashion. These are now common sights in Seoul. But what if there was a place in Seoul where you could hear traditional Korean vocalizations in the street, experience a proper Korean meal while enjoying a cup of traditional tea, and observe traditional Korean fine crafts, all in one place?
The center of Seoul north of the Hangang River, Jongno, is always crowded with youths. Whether it is because of its proximity to Daehangno street (University Street) or because it is the center of commerce north of the river, Jongro is always busy, weekdays and weekends alike. If you follow the bustle and noise from Jongno past Tapgol Park, you’ll find Insa-dong to your left. “Insa-dong," as referred to here, is the stretch of avenue extending about 700m beginning at Tapgol Park.

There are plenty of economical guesthouses (inns) available for staying in and around the streets of Insa-dong.

t’s often been said that when it comes to fashion Seoul has something to suit everyone’s taste. Although this statement is rather accurate, the area of Hongdae is in a league of its own when it comes to the characteristics of a traditional shopping district. Its appeal is certainly far-reaching, with its large selection of fashionable goods, but the surrounding nightlife makes it all the more attractive to the city’s growing youth culture. And with Hongik University campus nearby, a school famed for its fine arts and design programs, the quest for individuality and creativity is also quite strong here and ushers in students and visitors alike to comb the clothing stalls lining the streets for the latest trend – something truly original. Many stores even feature apparel conceived by the students themselves. Hipsters take note, with all the endless series of vintage outlets, discount shops and stylish boutiques boasting items that are reasonably priced and very much en vogue, Hongdae remains a great place to spend the day soaking in the entertainment and grabbing the best deals. If outdoors is where you want to be, rather than indoors inside goliath shopping malls, then jump on the subway and mark this stop in your itinerary.

The highest concentration of clothing stalls and vintage shops can be found flanked along the main passageway of Eo Ulmadang-gil, a short distance away from Hongik University subway station. Curious eyes will also find quite a nice selection of small boutiques dotting the many side streets in between cozy cafes and decorative, elegant restaurants.
