Probably because it was inconvenient to reach, but now that cars are common, the idea of living up high with a fantastic view is catching on, so many of these moon villages are being razed. The area in Sangdo 5-dong is another good example. This place wasn't entirely abandoned yet, and there were lots of elderly people around. I think that people living in this neighbourhood would be extra healthy, due to all the walking they have to do.  Media Coverage  Future Plans Probably more highrises  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries First Visit Sun, Apr 27th, 2008 posted by Steed 25 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
