What's included in Bike tour, Travel back in time to Old Seoul
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Cheonggyecheon Stream
Do you know the word Feng Shui? this stream is where Korean ancestors chose as main water for the capital! Until 1960, this was surprisingly different than what it is now that homeless people, beggars and gangsters used to live here. How about now? It's man-made stream loved my locals located right in the middle of sky-scrappers (banks and investment companies) What a change!
Seoul City Hall
Can you guess where rich & powerful people live now? Koreans would say Gang-nam or Han-nam. How about one dynasty before now? It was central Seoul where we will meet and take a journey together! The area with this city-hall, all the power was centered. We will see what happened together, Let's go!
Deoksugung
Can I take a moment to pull myself together before I start talking about here? because this place is attached to the end of Joseon era. Our last king had lived here and People had to let this kingdom fade away. Because of this, the next place has interesting city legend/myth.
