Mt. Inwong small hiking
Almost all people think the N Seoul Tower is the best to look around Seoul, yes that's true. Let's put it this way. Where you can meet ordinary Korean people in Seoul? Those are local traditional or modern market and small mountains.
You can see scenery nicely and realistically.
"Aha let's go Kevin H., please bring me there."
Guksadong, shamanism temple
Guksadong is head quarter of shamanism, it was at the Mt. Namsan where the N Seoul Tower is. During Joseon dynasty it was moved to here.
Seon Bawi, rock
This place is where the mainly Korean ladies pray for having baby. The rock is look like a monk in monk's wear.
It will listen to your only one wish.
Walk along Hanyang Doseong
Hanyang Doseong is near by and in Mt. Inwong. Since we came here I highly recommend walking along the wall shortly, ex. half an hour.
Seodaemun Independence Park
There were thousands of invasions to Korean peninsula. But we survived. One of the evidence is this park. We will walk through to traditional market.
Yeongcheon Sijang
There are hundreds of traditional markets in Seoul. Namdaemun market and Gwangjang market are also famous. There are also many goods for tourists. There you can see what Koreans are wearing, are eating.
