Why locals recommend it
Bukchon Hanok Village is more famous as tourist site, but if you go there early in the morning before it gets crowded, it also makes a great running course. It’s interesting to run through the narrow streets filled with Hanoks, traditional Korean homes. Take a detour into the narrow alleys to get a closer look at the traditional buildings.
