Seongbuk-dong, Residential district in northern Seoul, South Korea
Seongbuk-dong spans 2.68 square kilometers of hillside terrain, featuring a mix of traditional hanok houses and modern diplomatic residences across winding streets.
The neighborhood evolved from its Joseon dynasty origins as Nogumetgol, a ceremonial site, to become a residential area for nobility during the early 20th century.
The district contains numerous tea houses, including Suyeonsanbang, which preserves Korean tea traditions and serves as a gathering space for literary figures.
The Korea Furniture Museum maintains regular exhibitions of traditional Korean furniture pieces and requires advance reservations for guided tours in multiple languages.
