Seoul Winter Adventure: Exploring Bukchon's Timeless Beauty

During Chinese New Year, I explored Seoul, starting with a visit to Bukchon, known for its traditional Korean architecture. Despite the previous day's snow, the area was bustling with tourists. I photographed the hanok houses' details and the contrast with the modern city using my Sony A6700. Lunch featured bibimbap and kimchi at a cozy restaurant. I documented the winter scenery, including locals and cityscapes. The day concluded with a memorable sunset over Bukchon's snow-covered roofs, leaving a lasting impression of Seoul's blend of tradition and modernity.
