Tradition and Modernity: Chogesa Temple, souvenir and artisans' street - Insadong, artificial river Cheonggyecheon (walking)

Walking tour (approx. 2 km, 2 hours)

Chogesa Temple is located in the heart of the South Korean capital - Seoul. Despite the small area, the temple is the central administrative temple of the largest Korean Buddhist sect of the same name - "Chogye." You will get acquainted with the history of the temple and Buddhism in Korea.

Will continue with a stroll along the picturesque pedestrian street of Insadong, famous for a wide selection of souvenirs, antiques and boutiques, which are mainly represented by traditional crafts items, stylized clothing and accessories. There are many restaurants in Insadong offering traditional Korean cuisine and traditional tea.

Finally, we explore the picturesque river Chhongechon: in 2005, the river was re-created after a long period when the river flowed in a pipe under the ground. Here you can experience the charm of modern landscape architecture of the capital of Korea.
