Yangji seolleongtang — brisket in milky bone broth selected
Nearby
Yeokjeon Hoegwan
A long-standing house known for bassak bulgogi, grilled until the marinade dries onto the beef; designated a Century Shop by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
Eulmildae
A Pyongyang-style naengmyeon house of some forty years, serving cold buckwheat noodles in broth or with raw fish, with mung bean pancake and boiled pork beside them.
Gyeongui Line Forest Park
It has no gate, no fee and no closing time, but it also has no car park anywhere along its 6.3 km — the operator says so outright and tells you to come by train. Which is fitting for a park that used to be one.
Yeouido Hangang Park
Free, ungated and open around the clock — and governed by a fine schedule most visitors never read. Camping or cooking outside a designated spot is KRW 1,000,000 for a first offence, and parking outside a marked bay is KRW 50,000.
