Insa-dong

Insa-dong is a very big tourist area in the heart of the city. The streets are lined with art galleries, traditional craft stores, antique art dealers, traditional tea houses and restaurants. This is also the area where traditional Korean souvenirs can be found. When we arrived, we were able to witness a traditional Korean wedding; the video below is what we saw. Everyone involved is wearing Hanboks, traditional Korean clothing worn at special occasions. Western weddings are becoming more and more popular so Korean women typically take pictures in their traditional wedding attire and a Western style wedding dress.





We walked up and down the streets admiring all the traditional items and ended up getting a dragon bell. When you ring it, it represents good luck. We got another item but you will just have to wait to see that one!
