[Secret Korea - Seoul] Ep. 13 Hoehyeon-dong / YTN (Yes! Top News)

The warm afternoon sunlight of the autumn season in Seoul is great for a stroll.

Hoehyeon-dong is a neighborhood located just below Namsan.

Unlike Myeong-dong, which is across the street, it is a quiet and simple place.

If you follow the timeworn alleys and walk a short distance,

you are able to reach Namsan Mountain.

After you enjoy nature on the walk up Namsan Mountain,

you can also visit Patriot An Jung Geun Memorial Hall.

It is a great place to experience history and take relaxing walks.

As you continue down the path, you will be able to visit Baekbeom Square

and allow you to see a unique scenery,

where the past and present seem to coexist in the middle of the city.

The nearby Namdaemun Market, which is the oldest and largest market in Korea,

has, on average, 300,000 visitors daily and sells just about everything.

Anything from colorful jewelry to unique items are sold here.

If you're curious, you can always try it out while receiving a friendly explanation.

You can also find delicious food at the Namdaemun Market.

One popular menu item is the 'hoettoek'.

Close to the Namdaemun Market is the Hoehyeon Underground Shopping Center.

This shopping center is filled with nostalgic objects that will remind you of the past.

You can find well-thumbed books, memorable records,

as well as stamps and currency from all over the world.

The Canadian Ambassador, who takes interest in Korean history,

occasionally comes upon a find at the stamp shop.

Turning back the hands of time in a bustling city,

Hoehyeon-dong is a neighborhood of nostalgia.

Why not see a different side of Seoul by visiting a treasure trove

that's filled with analog sensibility in the city?
