Hanok Library
Free admission
청운문학도서관
Jongno-gu's first hanok public library, nestled in the forest on the slopes of Inwangsan. The building is crafted with handmade roof tiles produced using the same techniques as the Sungnyemun Gate restoration, along with 3,000 reclaimed hanok tiles from the Donuimun New Town area. In the hanok reading room on the first floor, you can enjoy poetry, novels, and essays while listening to the sound of a waterfall beyond the pavilion. The basement houses a modern general reading room and a children's section. The library also hosts literary exhibitions, humanities lectures, and poetry writing workshops.
