Ihwa-Dong Mural Village is featured in numerous korean drama and variety shows such as The Rooftop Prince, We got married and so on. This place is actually a residential area which has turned into a tourist spot after the local public art committee carried out a project called Naksan Project to improve its local environment. Approximately 60 artists participated in this project and contribute their artwork on the wall. We only managed to find a few paintings around because the residents has requested to remove some of the paintings due to the flood of tourists which caused noises and disturbance to the residents. The significant staircases with sunflower and fish paintings are nowhere to be seen, I read the news online and found out that it's actually covered by few residents there because they can't stand the annoyance anymore..opps! According to the map, i think there's only 9 paintings left now. Oh ya, we chanced upon this cafe called Milk Gongbang which is famous of their milk soft serve! The ice cream is so cute and it taste awesome too! Im not a fan of milk ice cream so this is really good if i can finish it hahah!
