This trail takes you all the way to Namsan Seoul Tower, if you choose not to take a cable car. Rather steep climb up, but the views are amazing. Came during the evening so we could see the panaromic city view at night.
A moderately steep hike offering some stunning views of downtown Seoul as you trek up to the N Seoul Tower at the summit. Itโs fairly well trafficked and was decently crowded at sunset when I hiked up.
There are plenty of areas to stop, take a break, and capture some pictures. If youโre not in the best shape, Iโd recommend taking the cable car up and walking down to get both experiences.
The advantage of Namsan Mountain in Seoul is that it is located near the forest of buildings in the city center, so you can easily take a walk within an hour of lunch time. Especially if you don't have enough time to look around the entire trail, I recommend a course from Myeongdong to Chungmuro. An hour is enough, and it's enough time to spend for a while in a fairy tale with nature. There's a restaurant in the middle and it's expensive.
a beautiful park right in the heart of Seoul. you enjoy the quiet. it is a historic place because it is practically the center of historic Seoul. there are many and beautiful hiking trails. In autumn, when the leaves change color, this is always a result. I can recommend everyone who comes to Seoul to visit namsan.
Namsan Cable car ride is an awesome experience to see a top view of Seoul as you go up to Namsan Tower. Namsan Tower is a wonderful place during the daytime and an enchanting place at night. Go in the afternoon so that you get to experience the different sights and feel of both the day and night scenery. We enjoyed viewing the korean arts in the K Gallery that is free. The children enjoyed themselves in the arcade games room, too.
The night view is beautiful. It is more than just an observatory deck. There are cafe, shops, love locks and several photo spots. Watch out on the way down though if you take a cable car, the queue on the way down is normally longer than the way up. The gondola does have quite a good capacity per round though.
This is a convenient and less tiring way to go up the Seoul Tower. There is quite a long line during our visit though. You have to be early and be patient waiting. But the line moves quickly as the cable car can accommodate around 50 passengers at a time.
It was a different experience from the busy Seoul city. The weather is nice and peaceful up there. And also we got to experienced the Ginseng festival with lots of dessert and drinks with Ginseng on it. We rode the cable car to went up and went down by walk. You sure need to try walking in Namsan.
Namsan cable car is a fun and convenient way to enjoy the panoramic view of Seoul from the top of Namsan mountain. It is a short and scenic ride that takes you from the busy streets of Myeongdong to the tranquil and beautiful N Seoul Tower. The cable car is an attraction that has been operating since 1962, and it is the first commercial cable car service for passengers in Korea. I visited Namsan cable car on a clear and sunny day in September, and I was impressed by the smooth and comfortable ride. The cable car was spacious and clean, and it had large windows that allowed me to see the cityscape and the nature around me. The ride lasted for about three minutes, and it was a thrilling and relaxing experience. I could see the skyscrapers, the bridges, the river, and the green hills of Seoul from different angles. I also enjoyed the view from the top of Namsan mountain, where the N Seoul Tower is located. The tower is a landmark of Seoul that offers various facilities and activities, such as an observatory, a museum, a restaurant, a gift shop, and more. I visited the observatory, where I could see the whole city in 360 degrees. The view was stunning and breathtaking, especially at night when the lights were shining brightly. I also took some photos with the tower and the love locks that people left on the fence. I spent about two hours at Namsan cable car and N Seoul Tower, and I felt that it was a worthwhile and memorable visit. The service was friendly and efficient, the price was reasonable, and the view was spectacular. I would definitely recommend Namsan cable car to anyone who wants to see Seoul from a different perspective. Namsan cable car is a place where you can appreciate the beauty and charm of Seoul.
Waited around half an hour for the elevator to arrive cable car station, then another one hour to take the cable car. Both the elevator and the cable car have large cabins and look unusual
A must-visit attraction for Chinese people, this is the temple to worship Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's descendants thrived in Korea. But this temple was not built by his Korean descendants. The temple is located at the foot of the stairs at Namsan Seoul Tower. Don't go up the stairs. Walk about 500 meters along the promenade to the left of the stairs. The gate is an iron gate with a fence, and you can go in and visit. But it may be a matter of luck whether the main hall is open. You can't take pictures inside. There is a statue of Zhuge Liang holding a white feather fan.
The shrine was built on a cliff as a shrine to Zhuge Resonance. This contrasts with the fact that Guan Yuโs tomb was built on flat land.
Zhuge Gongmyeong is famous for Liu Bei's Three Goryeo Dynasties, Battle of Red Cliffs, and Liu Bei's son's candidacy during Liu Xian.
Take Exit 1 of Myeongdong Station and take the road leading up to Namsan. It's on the right.
According to the Kadera News Agency, it is said that King Taejo wrote it while he was sleeping... It's a short distance from Bukchang-dong, so it's convincing.
Good shrine to take a look at the beginning of Namsan trail. Place dedicating to ่ซธ่ไบฎ(Zhuge Liang) who is the great Chinese commander in history. Locating on a hill, there are many days to close.
Extremely reasonable prices, very clean, and a great location for walkers. Very close to public transportation (Chungmuro subway line, which can take you to Seoul Station hub to get anywhere else, including Incheon airport), as well as historic Namsangol Hanok Village, with tours of houses built in the Joseon Dynasty. Only drawback for those who don't like walking is that it is located on a short, steep hill...great exercise, though!
The place is magnificent! Well signposted, has toilets, clean, well organized, with tour guides. It's VERY worth visiting, the history and architecture are impressive. IT'S FREE
Very neat place. A glimpse of Korean architecture and daily living. The place is free and a you can spend a good 45+ mins slowly perusing the sights. Take off your shoes and wander in the house. Take photos. Imagine what your life might look like living in one of these houses. Beautiful architecture...how can I incorporate elements of these structures and the layouts of these rooms in my dream house?
Right near the park where you can wander and look and stroll through. Very nice place if you want a quieter and peaceful and free thing to do.
Love the place near Chungmuro station exit 4. Nice place and you can have a view of Seoul tower there. Outside there is also a hanbok rental but never try as we have tried the day before. There is also some free korea game like pitch pot or tohu for you to try. There is also display of some art and traditional living space. We went during the day and night to capture the view of Seoul Tower at different time.
Lovely place. We were already wrapping our tour and visiting here is icing to the cake. I'd say we even took better portraits and landscape here than what we had in the palace! The place is serene and has it's charm that can't be compared to other Hanok village we visited. Definitely worth our time. Must visit place!
This Hanok village is as beautiful as the bukchon Hanok village but far more less crowded and so many good spots to take pictures plus you can also get the namsan tower as background of your pics and videos if you are creative enough. The complex is huge! The temple is beautiful and people wrote their wishes in front of Buddha. The place is clean and enchanting.
I discovered a space in the heart of Seoul, immersed in nature. Inside a traditional Korean house (hanok), you'll find a space where you can hear the sounds of our traditions. The interior is very clean, immersive, and a great place for a stroll.
Seoul Namsan Gugakdang is a professional performance hall built by the Seoul Metropolitan Government in 2007 for the purpose of holding traditional art performances that will represent Seoul. The ground level is the lobby and cafe at the entrance to the Korean traditional music hall, and the performance hall is located on the first basement level. The audience has 300 seats, and it is said that it was designed so that you can hear the heartbreaking pansori and gayageum sounds from any seat, even without sound equipment. Except for closed days, you can see traditional performances almost every day of the year. It seems to be the best space for cultural relaxation as you can enjoy the Hanok Village, Namsan Mountain, and a traditional performance hall in the center of Seoul.
It is located within Namsangol Hanok Village. There is a Hanok cafe called Dalgang on the first floor and a performance hall on the basement floor. A place with a good view of Namsan Tower
The steps are nice and the air in the theater is refreshing. I don't know if it was just today's performance, but I couldn't hear the lyrics very well. It gets very cold with the air conditioner, so a jacket is a must in summer! I also like the cafe on the ground floor before coming down to the theater.
The roof tiles and fences are well maintained. It is a sanctuary and holiday resting place for Seoul citizens where traditional games such as Yutnori and top spinning are held during Lunar New Year and Chuseok!!!
Great initiative & design, impressed by the foresight of Korean leaders in their commitment to the future. This monument deserves a proper diligence though. At least one of the foreign signatures needs fixing. We have time until 2394.
To mark the 600th anniversary of Seoul, this is a project to capture 600 cultural artifacts that represent today's citizen life and the appearance of Seoul in capsules and pass them on as cultural heritage to future generations 400 years later, or 1,000 years later. The release date is November 29, 2394.
I love that it has the explanation in English as a tourist this was super cool to see. It is set to be opened in the year 2,394. It holds 600 items that represented the city of Seoul in 1994. I wish they could explain what some of the things are because I will not be alive to view the opening of it are but I also enjoy the mystery and history. It is free to enter!
Jangchungdanbi is a monument erected at Jachungdan to comfort the souls who were revived during the Eulmi Incident. During the Eulmi Incident in 1895 (the 32nd year of King Gojong's reign), Empress Myeongseong was assassinated, and many soldiers, including Palace Minister Lee Gyeong-jik and protest leader Hong Gye-hoon, died while fighting against the Japanese army. Emperor Gojong built a shrine for them in 1900 (the 4th year of Gwangmu) and established Jangchungdan to hold ancestral rites, and a monument was also erected at this time. With the annexation of Korea and Japan in 1910, Jangchungdan was abolished and the monument was removed. In the late 1920s, cherry trees were planted here to create a park, and the place was called โJangchungdan Park.โ With liberation in 1945, Jangchungdanbi was revisited and erected at the current location of the Shilla Hotel, and moved to this location in 1969. The 'Jangchungdan (ๅฅฌๅฟ ๅฃ)' text engraved on the front of the monument was written by Emperor Sunjong, who was the crown prince at the time. Min Young-hwan, who was the head of the Army at the time, wrote the epitaph on the back of the monument, which commemorates the history and meaning of establishing Jangchungdan.
Supyogyo Bridge, which has a check engraved on it, was originally a bridge over Cheonggyecheon Stream, but during the Cheonggyecheon restoration project, it was not moved to Cheonggyecheon and remained in its current location.
Supyo Bridge is a bridge over Cheonggye Stream with a check engraved on it. It was first placed in the 2nd year of King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty and was located in Supyo-dong, Jongno-gu, but was moved to Jangchundan Park in 1958 due to the Cheonggye Stream cover construction. At the time of restoration of Cheonggyecheon in 2005, it was tried to put it back in its original place, but it could not be moved because the width and length of the restored Cheonggyecheon did not match. When Supyo Bridge was built, there was a majeon there, so it was called Majeon Bridge. In 1441, the 23rd year of King Sejong, a checkpoint (Treasure No. 838) was erected in front of the bridge to measure the water level flowing in the stream (Cheonggyecheon). Under the bridge, it is written, 'It is located on the eastern side of Jangtong Bridge, and a stone marker was erected in the center of the west side of the bridge, and Cheokchon was engraved to know that the rainwater was deep and shallow'. Afterwards, while repairing the bridge in 1760, the 36th year of King Yeongjo's reign, the letters Gyeong, Jin, Ji, and Pyeong were engraved on the stone pillars to measure the water level in four stages.
A tangible cultural property of Seoul that was built in the early Joseon Dynasty is being relocated to its original location in Cheongggye 2-ga, and restoration is being considered! 201010
It was made by carving a lot of granite in Korea, and it sits down nicely as the years have accumulated. it is a beautiful bridge Originally, it was located in Cheonggyecheon, Jung-gu. I can see that you miss that place
5 Stars. It is like a "molgi". If you desire to shoot arrows on your first visit to this range, perhaps you will be disappointed as learning the way of the bow is a gradual process. Instead, bring a small gift such as some Bacchus energy drink or something for the patrons and enjoy their focus as they practice pushing the mountain and pulling the tiger's tail. Ask about the beautiful traditions.
Enjoy a walk around scenic walking path. The area seems to be a favorite for locals. As you can see a veritity of locals from seniors, families and young couples on the path. Great way to spend a weekend amongst nature. The cherry blossoms were in bloom making the area look like a picture perfect post card. Added bonus the area has plenty of quaint restaurants and coffee shops lining the streets.
A free walking tour upon reservation. This area is only available for tour applicants. It's about 90~100 min program to walk and learn plants. Tour guide is pretty kind and helpful.
Old but you can get really a lot of history information here. The great part is that they really try to make the library a more friendly spot for book readers and tourist. I hope next time I go back here it would be a brand new and modern library
Old and good. Dining facility is alright. The view of N Seoul Tower on the 2nd floor is also good. Outdoor lab is very cool. During cherry blossom season, you'll see really beautiful flowers behind the building. Well-maintained library for residents nearby.
The view was nice. I continued my journey down the street and after a short walk, I found a market on the street that sold a lot of accessories, which was fun.
Following the ์์ค๊ทผ memorial, this area is dedicated to another important figure in the Korean Independence movement, ๋ฐฑ๋ฒ. On the side of his statue there's even a plaque with praise laid on him by ROC president Chiang, Kai-Shek (์ฅ๊ฐ์), because indepndence wasn't just a Korean issue, or a Chinese issue, it was an issue for all peoples. Some people may forget that, but I independence and sovereignty is always being threatened, and we need to rise up to any bullies that try to threaten that.
If you watched itaewon class on Netflix they have a couple scenes filmed here. The view is extraordinary of the city and mountains. Totally worth the hike up, itโs not a long hike maybe 5-10 mins from the Hilton hotel.
Going to Baekbom Square was one of our highlights in Seoul. It was a steep climb with around 10 mins hike from the nearest bus stop, but the climb was all worth it. The view from the top was amazing as you're able to see the city skyline constrasted by the descending steps of the park. If you're looking for a quick park to go to, then be sure to consider this one.
I visited this park at night after returning from Namsan Tower. This park was so quiet. When I visited this park, there were some people who were taking their pets for a walk, and some couples who were enjoying the night air. I was interested in visiting this place because want to see the Love Alarm filming site. The view from the top of Seoul City Wall is very beautiful at night. The lights from the Hilton Hotel and the surrounding buildings make this place very suitable for someone who wants to find peace while looking at the view of the city.
There are a lot of stairs, but it's not difficult to walk. If you go up, you will reach the ruins of Hanyangdoseong. Baekbeom Square. You can see the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall.
The stairs became famous as the place where two people kissed in the drama My Name Is Kim Sam-soon, which previously featured Hyun Bin and Kim Sun-a. However, this staircase is a heartbreaking staircase that was built by the Japanese when they built the Joseon Shrine on Namsan Mountain.
I went there with 2 foreigners and went to the person in charge inside the hanok. I think the person wearing Hanbok is probably someone who has been working for a long time. They are unfriendly. This is Jaero, the Korean image. !! It was absurd! Even if you call the information desk, it is only in dusty English. I was so curious that I asked for a brochure in English. There are 3 people, but it's like throwing 1 card ใ ใ ใ I've been in the education field for 30 years, so I'm really curious. What is this place? Isnโt this a place that teaches etiquette? To the question, I frowned but didn't have any answer with no facial expression.
Definitely this person. Quitting. I think it is helpful to the national interest in Korea. This was the first time I experienced a civil servantโs attitude!!!!!! We were together~ How absurd it is with foreigners. I have also lived in California for 30 years. Please keep this in mind. I'm reviewing it here on purpose, but brushes also need to be updated for each country. thank you !! I wrote a few words for our country.
Hohyeondang, located next to Namsan Baekbeom Square, is a place where knowledge and examples are taught and practiced in order to become like the saints of the past. Young children usually come here in groups to experience activities, and families can also experience them. Individuals and foreigners can also apply by accessing the Seoul Metropolitan Governmentโs public site. There are various programs such as learning how to wear hanbok, how to drink tea, various old traditional games, and learning at a Seodang without having to go to Cheonghak-dong. I think it's a great experiential space to have something like this in downtown Seoul, and I've seen foreign tourists find it very interesting as well. It is the best place for children to learn character, experience culture, and understand history. It is convenient as there are nearby buses and subways, and there is a large parking lot next to the An Jung-geun Memorial Hall. When the whole family goes on an outing, it's even better because there is a large lawn right in front of Baekbeom Square.
Namsan Park Forest Experience Center is a space of rest. It is located right across the cloud bridge from Namsan Hyatt. You can heal while walking around and increase your physical strength by exercising.
No tickets needed but the park was very normal. We walked down from the Seoul Tower, was very plain. Exact same plants as the rest of Korea, no labels or information about the plants. Nothing special, can definitely miss this.
Beautiful place to visit in the evening especially, it's so peaceful there, a bit of a work out if you aren't in great shape (like me!) Very slopey in places. Some lovely places to visit around it as well ☺️
Went for a quick stroll before we left Seoul. Itโs sooo biggggg and a bit of a hassle to get to (we walked there from the station), but the air was fresh and a lot of greenery around. Definitely would want to visit and spend a bit more time there next time.
