Besides the more quiet residential streets and houses, there were also some charming streets filled with unique shops and eateries. So when we came down from the slopped hill, we ended up in a street filled with shops.
Some of the small alley were so narrow that no cars can pass. And since this was a tourist area, it was rather nicely decorated. Some had paintings and art around the streets. Looking at this photo now, it reminded me of the hutong area that we stayed in when we visited Beijing. But somehow, this Korean street looked a lot better!
Vibrantly coloured walls with paintings on it at one side, and beautiful green plants on the other side. All leading up to a traditional house with wooden door. How lovely.
I was also amazed at their cafe too. It had such an open concept. I mean, it's like dining at a window! It looked so cute cause people can look in on you as they walked by. Granted that the floor was raised, so I guess you can look down on people as you dine at such a fancy place! Hahahaha. I wish we had time to sit in some of these cafe, but we had only an hour or so before lunch, and we were also going for tea at one of my favourite tea shop!
A beautiful blue retro shop with high stool outside for you to dine on! It's just a blur of inside and outside, and I really love it. I love places with outdoor elements. It gives a free-er feeling whenever you are in it.
This is a scene at the corner of the same shop above. A wall of kimchi pots!
I also saw a kimchi academy, hahahaha. Do they give you a certificate after graduating? I tried making kimchi before, but the vietnamese fish sauce I used was just too strong. I did managed to ate half of it. The other half got mouldy so I had to throw it away :( I do love kimchi. So maybe I'll try again in future.
A customised scent shop where you can make your own perfume. I always wonder what does that mean...
Some tea shops that have some tea set menu! I would love to try these!
And out of nowhere in someone's garden by the alley, a miniature fishermen fishing in a pond :)
