Would you like to listen to Gugak (Korean traditional music)? On Saturdays, starting from last month in August, a performance of Korean traditional music inside a Hanok (Korean-style house) began. Since it is not inside a concert hall, locals and visitors alike can enjoy this more easily. You will find it at the Bukchon Hanok Village. This show runs until October 18th and is free.

Notable Parks in the Outskirts of Seoul

City parks offer a green respite from the concrete jungle. They also provide ample space for recreation and relaxation for residents and visitors alike. Although the more popular parks are located in Seoul, there are also some urban oases on the outskirts of the city that are worth mentioning. Here, we’ve rounded up four notable urban parks located in the neighboring cities of Seoul. In Part 1 of this article, we covered Songodo Central Park near Incheon and Ilsan lake Park. In Part 2 we will cover Bundang’s Yuldong Nature Park and Guri Hangang Park as well as some of the attractions in the vicinity of these parks.

As the weather cools, Korea’s street food carts emerge. They have a presence all year long, but the winter brings them on in larger packs with foods that keep your hands warm and your mouth scorching. Korea’s street food industry has been thriving despite local government efforts to curtail them, arguing that their makeshift setups are an eyesore in the city. In some parts of northern Seoul, vendors have been required to use standardized, dull-colored street carts, and in Gangnam, a video has surfaced of thugs trashing street food carts because the vendors were taking up street space. That’s a shame, as Korea’s street food is one of its main charms to tourists.

Silver grass turn a beautiful silvery color in autumn. Their large, feathery and iridescent tassel-like plumes stand tall above the arching foliage and dramatically transform the landscape, swaying and dancing in the breeze. Silver grass ("eoksae" in Korean) are found on mountains and in fields while reeds (“galdae” in Korean) are frequently found on riverside and wetlands. Mountains known for silver grass include Myeongseongsan Mountain in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do; Mindungsan Mountain in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do; Cheongwansan Mountain in Jangheung, Jeollanam-do; and Oseosan Mountain in Hongseong, Chungcheongnam-do. When it comes to reeds, Suncheonman Bay Ecological Park (Field of Reeds) in Jeollanam-do is one of the the most well-known destinations.
