First of all, at the date of this writing, I have been to Samcheong Dong and Gorasu gil only once. For me, the reason I went to both places is because I'm so intrigue to feel the coffee culture in Seoul as per what I have been read in other blogs and of course for their perfect backdrop for picture taking activity ;)).
So yes, my full marks goes to Samcheong-dong. The place is just amazingly unique as it have this old and new feeling with the area of the surrounding palace, both Gyeongbokgung and Insadong, Bukchon Hanok Village etc ...such a feeling like back to the old days, feeling nostalgic, yet at the same time , seeing many cafes around, it truly feels old meets the new you. It was such a nice walk if you have time in Seoul.

And here, map taken from Visit Korea, for your easier view, to see how close all the historical places are with Samcheong Dong ^_^.
As for Gorasu gil, the feeling was a bit of more like overpriced stuffs, maybe because it was in Gangnam , Apgujeong area. The Gingko tree, although it was very pretty, the color was not as autumnish as I was expected because all other places around Seoul at that time was already turned to brownish, gold colored leaves.

Overall, Gorasu Gil still was pretty in its own way, For people who likes to be in a crowd more, I would say Gorosu Gil is the perfect place, while for me, I love the laid back atmosphere in Samcheongdong. Uber cool in its own way. Both are a good place for the coffee lovers and people watching :)
