- Local people
- Buam-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul
Nestled snugly at the foot of Mt. Bukhan, Mt. Inwang, and Mt. Bukak, Buam-dong, Seoul, is a rural village in the heart of downtown Seoul. The ratio of green areas is high as if mocking the city center, and the clean valley water of Baeksagol (Baeksasil) becomes part of Hongjecheon and passes through the middle of Buam-dong. In addition, there are no high-rise buildings, so it is reminiscent of a small town surrounded by mountains. Buam-dong, which has emerged as a new attraction in the city since 2000, has cultural heritages such as Baekseokdongcheon in Bukaksan Mountain, Seokpajeong Pavilion, Hongjimun Gate, Mugyejeong Temple Site, and Segeomjeong. In addition to the art spaces of Whanki Museum and Zaha Art Museum, cafes such as Mountain Corner Cafe and Jaha Sonmandu With teahouses, cafes, and restaurants, it is perfect for a day trip outing to the city center.
