What to eat
Guksi — hand-cut noodles in brisket broth selected
Nearby
Naksan Park
A park on the lowest of the four hills that ringed the old walled city. A stretch of the city wall runs along its ridge, and the centre of Seoul lies below it on the far side.
Changgyeonggung Palace
The cheapest of Seoul's ticketed palaces and the least crowded, with a garden layout that rewards an unhurried walk rather than a checklist.
Jeongneung Royal Tomb
It opens at 06:00 under the early-admission rule, so it doubles as a morning walking route. It is the tomb of Queen Sindeok, King Taejo’s second queen, and its stone lantern is the oldest stone object at any Joseon royal tomb.
Changdeokgung Palace
Choose it for palace architecture plus garden scenery, but confirm whether the Secret Garden requires a separate timed ticket.
Stories about this place
- Six Seoul houses that make the noodle by hand — kalguksu, guksi, sujebi
Only houses that cut or tear wheat dough by hand and drop it straight into the broth. All six sell a bowl in the ten-thousand-won range, none of them is a spicy dish, and two are walking distance from Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon. The record names the broth at four of the six and not at the other two, and both the difference and the gap are written down here.
