Jirisan is one of the representative Korean restaurants in Insa-dong, an area known for its traditional culture. One of the trademarks of this restaurant, besides its amazingly delectable bean and tofu dishes, is a wooden sign that welcome guests into a neat and cozy interior.

Each day, fresh beans are ground at the restaurant to prepare dishes such as soybean paste, soft tofu, and bean-curd tofu stew. Bean-curds are prepared by using seawater, which gives the tofu a unique flavor. The fresh and clean taste of the tofu is one of the many reasons that choosey tofu aficionados flock to the restaurant.

Not just limited to tofu, Jirisan presents customers with a full-range of side dishes such as kimchi, japchae (glass noodles with sautéed vegetables), cucumber kimchi, seasoned seaweed, braised lotus roots, roasted yellow corbinas (a type of fish), leafy greens, bean-curd stew, and more. The restaurant gives visitors a chance to experience a hearty traditional Korean-style meal, but has thoughtfully toned down its seasonings to appeal to a wider audience (particularly those not used to spicy foods).

One of the recommended menu items is the Jirisan set meal, which offers diners the chance to sample foods that are popular in the Jirisan region. Adventurous diners may want to try the sea urchin soup or dried Pollack soup.

The restaurant, originally a traditional Korean house, has been modified over the years to better suit the needs of its customers. The walls surrounding the structure were removed and a glass ceiling was installed to allow guests to enjoy the natural light of the sun as they sample some of the area’s best traditional Korean cuisine.

Le temple Jogyesa est un temple bouddhiste zen en Corée qui a la particularité d’être situé en plein centre-ville de Séoul. Jogyesa se situe dans une rue perpendiculaire aux rues illuminées de Jongno, et à la rue menant à la station Anguk, non loin de la rue d'Insadong.
La première chose que l'on remarque en entrant dans le temple, ce sont les arbres qui font face au bâtiment principal âgés de plus de 500 ans. Un de ces arbres mesure 26 mètres de haut et procure en été un ombrage apaisant.
Le temple a servi dès 1910 de résidence principale pour le moine Han Yong-un. Le bâtiment principal érigé en 1938 est majestueux, décoré de nombreuses couleurs. A l’intérieur se trouve une statue du bouddha Sakyamuni. A l’extérieur, en face, se trouve une pagode de sept étages contenant des reliques de bouddha.
Le temple Jogyesa ne possède pas cette atmosphère solennelle que l’on peut retrouver dans les temples situés en montagne qui offrent par exemple une vue panoramique sur la montagne ou sur la mer. Mais, situé en ville, il est facile d’accès et convient aux visiteurs à l’emploi du temps serré. A proximité du temple se trouvent des petites boutiques spécialisées dans la vente d'articles bouddhistes (chapelets, écrits, encens, etc) mais également des souvenirs tels que des poupées et des porte-clés. Les personnes intéressées par le bouddhisme y trouveront certainement leur bonheur.

Unhyeongung à Séoul désigne le lieu du palais où la parenté du roi vivait (résidence royale). Ainsi, la parenté de Heungseon Daewongun, Lee Ha-Eung (1820~1898) et sa famille ont vécu à Unhyeongung. Après que Gojong (1863~1907) soit devenu roi, Unhyeongung a été agrandi et élevé comme un palais pour la gouvernance du pays. C'est à ce moment-là que Unhyeongung est devenu comme une maison semblable à un palais avec quatre grandes portes.

Cependant, le site fut endommagé durant la guerre Imjinwaeran (guerre provoquée par l'Invasion japonaise) ce qui entraîna une réduction du site. En entrant à Unhyeongung, vous verrez sur votre droite plusieurs maisons avec des tuiles alignées qu’on appelle 'Sujiksa'. C’est à cet endroit que vivaient les ministres du palais, les gardes et les servants.

Après avoir passé les maisons Sujiksa, vous trouverez la porte Soseul. Passé cette porte, vous pourrez voir un bâtiment avec une inscription 'Noandang'. C’est là que Daewongun résidait habituellement.

Après Noandang, on trouve le plus grand bâtiment de Unhyeongung, bâtiement appelé Norakdang. Des fêtes pour les 60 ans et d’autres fêtes familiales y étaient organisés et en 1866, le mariage de Gojong et la Reine Myeongseong fut célébré en ces lieux. A gauche de Norakdang, on trouve Irodang, le bâtiment principal de Unhyeongung.
