JAKARTA – The historic Bukchon Hanok Village area in Seoul, South Korea will impose tourist restrictions starting this month to address tourist excesses, the Jongno District Office announced late last month.
The curfew will limit tourist access to the most popular and densely populated village area along the 11-gil Bukchon-ro, dubbed the red zone, from 5 p.m. to 10 a.m.
Those who violate the regulations will be fined up to 100,000 won (IDR 1,139,622) after March when the district office will end the trial phase and officially launch the policy, reported by The Korea Times November 14.
Meanwhile, residents, business owners and guests at the hanok residence will be released from the curfew.
