Exploring Neighborhoods Around Sinchon in Yeonnam-dong
Authored By:
Yonsei University's main campus is located in Sinchon. Many neighborhoods that surround Sinchon. As a person who enjoys exploring new areas, I’ve discovered many cafes, restaurants, and parks.
One of my favorite neighborhoods is Yeonnam-dong. Yeonnam-dong is about a 30-minute walk from campus. It is also right outside of the Hongdae area, Yeonnam-dong is home of many unique cafes and different types of cuisines. I enjoy walking through the Yeonnamdong area because there are so many foods to try including, Japanese, Thai, American, and Italian cuisine. One of my favorite places to eat in Yeonnam-dong is Yummy Gyoza for dumplings and mazeudon.
Another aspect I love about Yeonnam-dong is how dense it is with unique cafes. Since it's only a short walk from campus, I like trying out signature items from each cafe in the area. This is the perfect place to find a cozy and quiet place to study while also being able to explore something new!
Lastly, one of my favorite parts of Yeonnam-dong is the occasional pop-ups by Korean designers. I have collected many stickers and postcards from this area. There are many stationery stores in Yeonnam-dong that are perfect for buying souvenirs for friends and family!
