Winter Vacation in Seoul
Ms. Yangi has opened the doors of her hanok-style hotel in Seoul’s Bukchon Village to guests for the winter season. The story features a hotel employee called Mingyeong who becomes friends with a guest at the hotel called Lini. Although the friendship between the two young girls is off to a good start, it isn’t long before things begin to turn sour due to their differing personalities and difficulty understanding each other. How will Lini, the hotel guest, and Mingyeong, who acts as her guide, come to remember their time spent together in Seoul? Will they make any lasting memories of the big city? This travel guide introduces readers to the best family-friendly attractions in Seoul.
