2014 Winter Wonders - Day 2 Part 1 - Namsangol Hanok Village

Day 2 - 11 January 2014

Misi hari kedua ni memula sekali nak terjah Namsangol Hanok Village ... sebabnye aku pun tak penah sampai ke situ lagik sebenarnye.. dah tu aku bace2 kat website KTO, timing yg kitorang pegi tu, mcm ade ice sculpture yg lawa2 diorang letak kat hanok village tu ... so kitorang pun mmg excited gile2 la nak pegi ... Namsangol ni letaknye dekat Chungmuro station, 2 station dari Hoehyeon station yakni station yg paling dekat dengan guesthouse yg kitorang duduk tu... tapi dah namenye bajet ciput, takat 2 station je, ape le salahnye jalan kaki jer kan ... wah gituu... sekali amik kau, masak jugak la berjalan dari namdaemun ke chungmuro tu...lepas tengok balik map, rupenye 1.5km jugak la kitorang berjalan dari guesthouse ke Namsangol tu...  dah la sejuk gaban ... tapi sebab baru second day, rase penat tu masih tak terase ... masih excited nak berjalan kan....

View dari depan guesthouse ... kota batu but somehow i like it

On da way ke Namsangol tu, kesejukan dah terase sampai ke tulang sebenarnye... sempat la singgah beli hotpack kat Watson kat depan Myeongdong station ... sejukk wehh.. sampai kebas2 muka

Bannernye ade, tapi ice sculptures nye sudah nan hado :(

Akan tetapi, kitorang takde luck la this time ... rupenye ice sculptures tu semua dah takde ... walaupun kat banner tu ade tulis the event is until 20th Jan, tapi nan hado ... sedey2 ... yg adelah hanyelah sisa2 kat atas simen jer....kecewa sungguh ... takpe la, kitorang proceed with pusing2 kat dalam hanok village tu jer la ...

Bagi aku, Namsangol Hanok Village ni mcm nothing much to see la ... if you've been to any of the grand palaces before, these hanoks are pretty much look like any of those living quarters inside the palace ... between Namsangol and Bukchon, I would choose Bukchon hanok village anytime ... even though yg kat Buckhon tu semua sudah ade modern touch, still the feeling is different .. probably because those hanoks are actually residential areas so it's kinda feeling more lively ... ntahh... this is just my personal opinion ... okeh lupe nak mention, no entrance fees utk masuk ke Namsangol Hanok village nih yer ...

We didn't spend much time kat Namsangol  .. lepas amik gambar sket, then off we went to our next destination, Dongdaemun, for makan2 time.

Oh by the way, just before the entrance to Namsangol Hanok Village, ade satu shoplot on the upper level ( belah kanan  if you are on your way in ) yg ade bagi service pakai2 baju hanbok ... of course it's not free but incase korang terase nak cube baju2 hanbok tu, maybe bleh la singgah kat situ yer ... ahjumma kat dalam kedai tu siap panggil2 aku dari tingkap atas suh aku naik..takpe la ahjumma, saye ni bajet ciput jer.. kalau free nak la jugak masuk kan hehe..
