Seochon (Korean: 서촌) is one of the oldest neighborhoods of Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea. It translates as "West village" or "Western village" as it is west of the palace Gyeongbokgung. It is also thought that the name could have derived from Mt Inwangsan as the mountain used to be called "Seosan" or "old mountain in the west."[1] Seochon is traditionally associated with the Joseon dynasty and Korean literature.
