Description
DaeOh Bookstore
DaeOh Bookstore is a traditional bookstore that has been operating since 1960. Nowadays, it is a cafe.
Once upon a time, this bookstore was very popular because many schools were built near it. Many parents bring their children here because of the traditional interior design and the good environment for study. Nowadays, as e-reading technology improves, people no longer need to visit this store.
The bookstore owner wants to keep their old memories, so they decided to change it to a cafe.
This place became famous because Korean singer IU had taken her album photo here.

This fortress wall, called Hansung during the Joseon Dynasty. In 1395, just five years after King Taejo founded the Joseon Dynasty, King Taejo established a government office to build a castle to defend Seoul. He ordered Jeong Do-jeon to search for and measure a site.
In 1396, Taejo of Joseon held the groundbreaking ceremony. 200,000 young men were placed under requisition over two years and completed building the castle 98 days after the war. The wall contained eight gates, all of which were originally constructed from 1396 to 1398.
Changuimun Gate
Changuimun Gate was one of four mini gates in the north surrounding the castle town of Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty. It is adorned with a wooden chicken along its rafters. Koreans believe that the chicken was the nemesis of the centipede, so the wooden chicken was important to overcome the harmful spirit of the centipede.

Really nice tour! Good surprises at some visit, and a really informative and accommodating guide! Me and my family are just pleased by this tour who brought us to places we would have never been if by our own. No regrets, and thanks a lot to onedaykorea who take good care of my children for their first trip in Asia. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour – plenty of walking, ample time to really enjoy local experiences, see different sights to typical touristy ones, savour local foods, and shop in non-touristy places. Beautiful mountain sceneries too. Terry and Bryan were excellent – very friendly, courteous and accommodating. Felt as if we spent the day with friends! Highly recommended for those want to take it slow and experience a different part of Seoul which only locals know.
