💡 Pro-Tips for August:

Plan for the heat: August in Korea is hot and humid, so outdoor events are much more comfortable in the evening.
Book ahead: Silent discos, camping and special activities can fill up quickly.
Check the weather: Summer also means sudden rain, so always check the forecast before an outdoor event.
Explore beyond Seoul: August is a great month for a day trip or weekend escape if you want a break from the city.

🔊 Turn the sound on

Flowing water, birds singing… this is your sign to slow down 🤍

Hidden in a traditional hanok in Seongnam, 새소리 물소리 (SaeSori Mulsori) is more than a tea house, it’s a place where time softens and the mind rests.

The name literally means “the sound of birds and the sound of water”, and you feel it the moment you arrive.

🍵 Sip on traditional Korean teas in a space filled with history and nature.

Their jujube tea is made from jujubes grown on-site, adding an extra layer of care and authenticity to every cup.

Wooden architecture, a quiet garden, floor seating, and gentle sounds all around…

This is the kind of place you come to heal, breathe, and simply be present.

✨ Follow us for more hidden spots, cafés & local tips around Korea.

SaeSori Mulsori

📍 10, Oyanam-ro 38beon-gil, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

⏰ Open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM

🚗 It’s easier to visit by taxi or car, as public transportation can be a bit tricky but still possible.
