Namsangol Hanok Village

Another sunny and cool day, ideal for wandering.

We braved  tourist-town and took the metro to Namsangol Hanok Village. A hanok being a traditional Korean house. This village is the site of several re-built hanok from different areas. A pleasant couple of hours can be spent here. The immediate appearance of the houses has a simple impression that belies the clever use of under-floor heating as well as a pleasing aesthetic in design that uses traditional materials. The inclusion of a veranda adds an extra feature which completes the overall effect.
