Insa-dong

For those who like to experience traditional culture of Korea, you may visit Insa-dong where you can find art piece, art galleries, traditional tea house, restaurant etc.
How to get there:
Alight at Anguk Station Line 3 (Exit 6). Try to walk towards the Juno police station, you will see a information centre near the entrance of Insadong street.
At first we thought it is a street performance but then later we felt that it is like a activities to create some awareness(not too sure what is it) among the crowd.There are few alleys which are on the left of the Insadong streets. You can find traditional tea houses and restaurants. We went into one restaurant call Jirisan which is famous for providing dishes which taste like home cooking. The restaurant do not sell one set of such meal, minimun order is 2 sets.

Though we do not appreciate some of the dishes but the ambience is cosy and comfortable. All seats are on the floor and there are partitions between few tables so that there are some privacy and whole dining area don't look so open.
