Let everyday life continue
In residential areas, keep your voice low, leave space for people passing through, and take your litter with you. A quiet street is part of the experience.
Ask what belongs in the frame
Avoid photographing inside homes, even if a door is open. Be considerate around residents, private entrances, and the people working in small shops.
Read the signs before exploring
Bukchon has designated areas with visiting restrictions. Check the current official guidance and follow signs on the ground. Restrictions in one area should not be assumed to apply to every street.
