HYEHWA STATION, SEOUL: Ihwa Mural Village

Welp. It's been a while since I last updated the travelogue (it's about three months after my trip to S. Korea).

After the lovely waffles at AND.here Cafe, we followed the signs (and a little bit of help from Google Maps) to Ihwa-dong Mural Village, a popular place for selfies and profile photos.
MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE CORRECT SIGN!



The ground was veryyyyyyy steep and we had to "hike" a little. However, we managed to reach the spot showed on the photo above.
Go straight on to the mural village (unless you fancy a legit hike up the hill).







We were greeted by colourful houses and creative shops. You could even get a dreamy watercolour portrait of yourself.









UNFORTUNATELY, both of the famous stairs decided to undergo maintenance at the same time (the top one with the fishes and the bottom one with the flowers, popular due to the korean dramas shot here). It's probably restored by now, since the trip was back in June 2016.
-sighs-





Nevertheless, there were other murals that are quite instaworthy. Beggars can't be choosers. Moods shall not be ruined by under renovation stairs.







One of my favourite spots there, the BEFORE I DIE... wall.
Strangely enough, taking a photo with a BEFORE I DIE... wall was on my bucketlist.
-insert confession bear meme here-



Of course, there are other photoworthy and interesting murals/wall art in the Ihwa-dong Mural Village. Quite worth the walk uphill, and do visit if you are in the area!
