SCENE 14 / 80 · Seoul · Bukchon Hanok Village
Visit Bukchon quietly
Continue east toward the Anguk and Bukchon area; check local visitor-hour signs before entering residential lanes.
Ask where visitors may walk and take photos.
The lanes look inviting, but people live behind these doors. Pause at the visitor sign instead of following everyone uphill.

On the ground Bukchon is a residential neighborhood. Some zones restrict tourist visiting times. Follow posted rules, keep voices low and leave doorways clear; never enter a home for a photograph.
Your turn Read a visitor sign and ask whether the lane is open to visitors now.
