Travelogue #5 Seoul, Korea Winter 2014 Insa-dong & Samcheong-dong

(source: http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/) 

I was considering whether should I go for Samcheong-dong or Insa-dong and there, I found rebecca did a good write up on these two places.

If you are wondering of the differences between Samcheong-dong and Insa-dong (though the title of both of my posts would have explained it), it’s pretty simple – both are ancient yet modern streets, but Insa-dong offers more shopping for beauty and cosmetics brands and as well as traditional craft while Samcheong-dong leans more towards boutiques with local designer products (clothes, bags, jewellery) plus pretty cafes.

Ssamziegil is within Insa-dong and is famously know as mini insa-dong inside insa-dong. It has very fabulous graffiti and packed with shops that sells sourveniors and handcrafts gifts.
