"The bustling streets of the past have disappeared, but I walk down the street imagining memoriesβ¦"
H SUK
"Cafe Road 60, located at the entrance of Sangsang-gil, is famous for its sweet red bean porridge. It's inexpensive, made with domestically produced red beans, and not too sweet. You can enjoy sweet red bean porridge 365 days a year, and you can see the center of Changdong Street. You can also watch the year-end bell-ringing ceremony from the second floor."
