There’s a joy in finding something special in common
while walking through an old street.
My name is Nichola Gwon and I am an artist in Seoul.
Whenever I want to enjoy a special moment in Seoul I head to Insa-dong.
It’s known as ‘Mary’s Alley’ to foreigners.
Seoul has a long history of tradition and heritage.
And the alleys of Insadong still treasure its sceneries of the past.
The alleys are Korean traditional culture streets
that have concentrations of antiques, old books, traditional teahouses and traditional craft stores.
As you walk through Insadong, you will discover a large building.
The building, Ssamzigil, is full of traditional crafts and props created by the local artists.
It’s popular place for who visit Insa-dong due to lots of attractions.
This art museum was once a traditional Hanok where royals resided a century ago.
Now, it serves as a complex culture space visited by many people.
I like to enjoy a relaxed moment with a cup of tea
while listening to the sounds of the wind chime.
Insa-dong’s alley leads to the different scenery.
It leads to a Hanok alley, Ikseon-dong.
Ikseon-dong is the oldest Hanok town in Seoul.
Small Hanoks here served as living spaces for commoners during the 1920s.
These Hanoks still have their old traces and remains even a century later.
Recently, the Hanoks have been transformed into unique cafes, galleries, and restaurants.
Remnants of Seoul’s past remain in the alleys.
As you turn the corner, these alleys make you question and anticipate,
‘What scenery would I discover next?’
The alleys of Insa-dong and Ikseon-dong,
where ordinariness and uniqueness coexist.
