What We Look for in Good Accommodations : We collected information from guesthouses for foreign tourists and hanok guest houses which have acquired a designation certificate from each district office in Seoul (as of August 31, 2014), hotels, and motels via telephone and written surveys. We have also incorporated opinions from an advisory committee consisting of specialists in hotels and tourism, humanities, hanok architecture, and interior design, as well as onsite investigations by reporters. Finally, accommodations with special stories have been selected based on a com- prehensive evaluation in terms of historic significance, the background of owners, spatial uniqueness, and cultural and artistic value.

Look into Times and People Healthy and Organic Hanok Hanok is built with stones and wood. Pillars, rafters, doors, and grand Through Hanok wooden floors are built of wood and timer, walls are made of straw and clay, and windows are applied with traditional paper made of natural wood. Floors are covered with traditional paper and applied with soybean oil, which also has a water-proofing effect, to make the surface glossy. Most universal houses had tiled and thatched roofs. Rich houses use tiled roofs, and ordinary households had thatched roofs made of straw. Thatched roofs were widely used because of the benefit of keeping heat inside during the winter, whereas they block strong heat from the sun and protect against rain during the summer.

Bukchon Hanok Village

In the 1920s and 1930s, huge areas of land were divided into small sized land sites, upon which many Hanok were built. This happened in areas called Samcheong-dong, Gahoe-dong, and Gye-dong, parts of which have come together to form the Bukchon Hanok Village. With the wind of modernization, some houses keep the style of traditional Hanoks, combined with modern styles by adapting glass doors at their grand wooden floors, and fitting galvanized sheets at the eaves. Preserving the beauty of the 8 sceneries of Bukchon, Bukchon Hanok Village became a must-see spot, embracing with warmth and kind- ness the people with different names and from different times of this country—from the Joseon Dynasty, Empire of Korea, to the Republic of Korea.
