Hwangnidan-gil or Hwangnidan Street 

The name comes from a combination of Hwangnam-dong and Itaewon’s Gyeongnidan-gil – which means ‘Hwangnam-dong’s Gyeongnidan-gil’ or Gyeongnidan Street of Hwangnam-dong. It includes the area around Hwangnam-dong and Sajeong-dong on both sides of the road starting from Naenam Intersection to Hwangnam Elementary School Intersection.

This street is home to old buildings which bring back the memories of olden times, from the 1960s and 1970s. The vibe of the place is old and showcases the ‘newtro’ aesthetics perfectly. But, the recent movement of younger generations to this area brought new things with it. Now, you’ve got a whole range of cafes with a nice atmosphere, cute props, souvenir shops, and unique restaurants on the Hwangnidan Street. These are housed in traditional hanoks, making them a tourist hotspot. Initially, most of the shops were built along the iconic roadside. But, now, as the outer edge of Hwangridan-gil is expanding, unique shops are popping up in the alleys. 

It is like a right of passage or a must-visit destination if you are traveling to Gyeongju. Its proximity to other Gyeongju attractions – Cheomseongdae Observatory and Daereungwon Ancient Tombs – also makes it a popular spot among tourists. If your itinerary includes visiting Gyeongju’s iconic ancient sites, this cute little ‘it’ street can offer you a nice break from historical attractions.
