Nishimura is located in the west of Gyeongbokgung Palace, hence its name. It is an area integrating leisure, shopping and catering. In fact, it is somewhat similar to Beicun, which used to be the residence of those officials in the ancient court. Beicun is a tall residential area, where all the nobles and ministers live, while Xicun is the residence of small officials, such as Class Two, General Affairs and Small Officials.
The origin of the West Village has a long history, and a region with extremely rich artistic atmosphere has gradually formed behind it. For example, there is Park Lushou Art Museum, where Korean painter Park Lushou lived from 1973 to 20 1 1 year. You don't need tickets to visit the park, but you need to buy tickets to visit Park Lushou's former residence. But the ticket to Korea is not expensive, just a few yuan and ten yuan.
Daao Bookstore, also known as Dawu Bookstore, is quite famous. Many film and television dramas have been filmed here. Korean singers and Korean idol movie stars have filmed MVs here, even Korean travel videos, so it is very famous here. Of course, it is not the shabby old bookstore we imagined. It is now a cafe full of books, and many people who visit the West Village will come here to have a rest.
Dawu Bookstore is not only famous in the West Village, but also Gagarin Bookstore and Liugexuan Gallery. The artistic atmosphere is extremely rich. From time to time, some interesting wall paintings will appear on the streets of the West Village. These wall paintings are humorous and will make people smile.
Of course, the West Village is not only about these things, but also a place for leisure shopping. Many fashionable young Koreans will come here and buy some gadgets they like. Because of the increase of tourists in China, many shops have clerks who can speak Chinese, and there are signs on the doors, including Alipay WeChat, which can be used by many shops.
Of course, there are many famous food stores here. I really admire these gluttons who can wait in line for a long time. Just to eat the expected food, I have to admire the publicity.
The shops in the West Village have their own attractive ways, but they are not gaudy, but make people feel unpretentious.
After visiting the West Village, it will take about half a day. Walking here is quite different from walking in a busy city. It makes people feel quaint and fresh, with some low-key romance, which is worth remembering.
