A neighbourhood of very narrow alleys in central Seoul, next to Jongno, with early 20th-century hanoks now converted into cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. They are traditional single-storey houses with a courtyard, set among tall buildings. People come to have coffee or dessert in a hanok and to stroll the lanes, which look best at dusk with the lights on.
