Here is the lunch. Cheese baked pork cutlet. It costed only 5000 won and the portion is super big!! The big bowl on bottom right is the sauce for bibimbap. Just pour the rice inside and mix it ourselves. It is really nice and unique bibimbap. The pork cutlet is quite crispy and the meat is quite tender until other pork cutlet I tried here >.< I saw quite a lot korean students eating at this place so it must be quite popular. It is worth visiting if u are studying in skku looking for a nice lunch with decent price.
Bukchon Hanok Village
It is traditional village where there is mixture of ancient and modern housing. It is preserved to show a 600 year old urban environment. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse in Korean traditional culture. Drama like personal taste was also filmed here!!!
Chang Deok Gung Palace

There is only guided tour for secret garden as it is really big and quite easy to get lost. One of the commonly asked question: Is there secret in this garden??? The truth is there is no secret at all. It is just a beautiful garden which has limited access to the commoners and even government officials in the past unless they have special invitation by the king. The garden occupied about two thirds of the whole palace. It was constructed in such a way that the original environment was preserved.
