  • Enjoy a Warm and Cozy Winter Cultural Experience: Korean Lunar New Year in a Hanok!

    Looking for a unique way to celebrate winter in Korea? Our **Korean Lunar New Year tour** is designed to keep you warm while offering an authentic cultural experience. Set in a cozy Hanok in Insadong, this indoor tour is perfect for the colder months, allowing you to experience the joy of Korea’s Seollal (Lunar New Year) traditions without worrying about the winter chill.

    We’ll start by visiting a local market to gather fresh ingredients for **Tteokguk**—the traditional rice cake soup enjoyed during Seollal. You’ll also try your hand at making **Mandu (Korean dumplings)**, another holiday favorite. After savoring your homemade meal, we’ll dive into fun and meaningful New Year traditions.

    Learn how to perform **Sebae**, the respectful bow for elders, and have fun playing **Yutnori (Korean board game)** and **Jegichagi (shuttlecock game)**—all in the comfort of a warm indoor space. To top off the experience, you’ll create your own beautiful **mother-of-pearl hand mirror (Jagae)** to take home as a keepsake of your cultural journey.

    This tour is ideal for winter travelers looking for an immersive, hands-on experience without braving the cold. Stay warm while diving into Korea’s rich cultural heritage, making it the perfect winter activity.
