The Best Time for Photoshoots


One of the biggest advantages of Eunpyeong Hanok Village photography is that it’s gorgeous in every season:


  • Spring: Soft cherry blossoms and fresh greenery frame the hanok rooftops with Bukhansan in the background.
  • Summer: Clear skies and lush trees highlight the mountain landscape, perfect for vibrant travel photos.
  • Autumn: Fiery red and golden leaves create breathtaking scenery with the hanok village at the foot of the mountain.
  • Winter: Snow-covered rooftops with a snow-dusted Bukhansan behind them look like a scene from a traditional Korean painting.


No matter the season, the combination of hanok houses and mountain views makes this one of Seoul’s most photogenic spots.
