What people say

Cindy Bouron
"Chosochaekbang, située dans le mont Inwangsan, fut inauguré dans un premier temps afin de protéger Cheong Wa Dae avant sa rénovation en espace culturel consacré à la lecture. Le site était en effet un poste de garde durant l'incident de Kim Shin-jo en 1968 et symbolise la douleur de la division des deux Corée. Il est encore possible d'apprécier l'extérieur en brique des lieux et la porte en fer datant de l'époque. Le site est désormais un café lecture réputé pour sa vue sur la tour Namsan."

"Choso Chaekbang is a minimalist glass and steel cafe / bookstore that used to be the location of a guard post for the Presidential Blue House. Head there for a bit of reading as well as incredible views of Seoul and Bukhansan from the slopes of Inwangsan Mountain. "
