  Eunpyeong Hanok Village

  Eunpyeonggu is situated in a basin surrounded by hills and mountains, including Baengnyeonsan Mountain (216m), Bibong Peak (560m), Eungbong Peak (236m), and Bukhansan Mountain (837m), except the southeast part of the area. Originating from Bukhansan Mountain’s valley, Changneungcheon and Bulgwangcheon Streams run through the center of Eunpyeong-gu and flow into the Hangang River. Green spaces account for 53.5% of the entire area and form part of Bukhansan Mountain National Park and a limited development district, so the residential area has a pleasant environment. Eunpyeong Hanok Village was established in December 2014 as the largest neo-hanok residential complex in the capital area. As the neo-hanok are designed to enhance the strong points of the traditional hanok and to supplement its weak points, they are expected to lead the development of future-oriented urban hanok by reducing construction expenses and improving their housing functions.
