Seongsu: workshops, brick factories and new Seoul tastes

Start at Seongsu Station Exit 1 and connect Handmade Shoe Street, Yeonmujang-gil, Red-brick lanes. Allow 3–4 hours, but use this question to edit the day: “Read the manufacturing district behind the pop-up queues.” Recheck official opening, reservation and safety notices on the day; If a pop-up has closed, switch to workshops, industrial architecture and one publicly open cultural venue.
