[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Donuimun Museum Village (Updated Jun)

Today is Christmas, so I want to share with you the Christmas decorations in Korea! Personally, I think the Christmas decorations in Korea are more beautiful, more thoughtful, and create a better atmosphere than those in Hong Kong. Whether it is the Hanok, the large shopping mall COEX Mall, the small shops on the street, Shinsegae Department Store, Myeongdong Street, Petite France Village, or the Donuimun Museum Village, the layout is very beautiful. It happened to snow in Seoul when I went there❄️, which made me want to have a white Christmas 🤶 The overall feeling was so romantic💕. It would be great if my boyfriend could go with me. --------- #Hanok #Myeongdong #coexmall #Petite France #Shinsegae Department Store #Donuimun Museum Village #Restart #Korea #Seoul #Korea Free Travel #followmetoKorea #Seoul Free Travel #Christmas Destinations 2022
