[2024 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Naksan Park (Updated Dec)

Climbing up the steps, sharing the four seasons with Naksan.

Walking through Naksan Park, each step feels like traversing the intersection of nature and culture in Seoul. The winding paths are flanked by lush trees, with sunlight filtering through the leaves like fine gold dust, gently illuminating every shadow. Reaching the heights, the city's skyline contrasts beautifully with the serene nature, offering a broad view and a sense of openness. Strolling along the famous Seoul City Wall Trail, the ancient stone walls bear the marks of time and witness the prosperity and changes of Seoul. Naksan in autumn is particularly enchanting, with fiery red and golden leaves covering the mountain paths, as if stepping into a poetic painting. At dusk, the sunset paints the sky red, enveloping the entire mountain in warm light and shadow, making it hard to leave. The beauty of Naksan Park lies not only in its stunning natural scenery but also in its poetic tranquility and harmony. Here, I can shed my busy thoughts and find inner peace and inspiration in every step and view.

Naksan Park 🏞️

#seoul Despite the hot weather, we took a bus to Naksan Mountain Trail, a place I had always wanted to visit after seeing it in dramas. However, the high temperatures made it challenging to fully appreciate the beauty of this location. Naksan Mountain got its name because it resembles the shape of a camel. At only 100 meters in elevation, it served as a guardian mountain during the Joseon dynasty. The Seoul Fortress Wall, which was built with solid granite bedrock to protect against enemies, is the most iconic landmark along the trail. It stretches for two kilometers from the Seoul City Wall (part of the Naksan Mountain Trail) to Ihwa Mural Village, and then continues downhill to Dongdaemun.

For a young country like South Korea, this park has changed a lot. The best way to learn about the history and changes in the park and the wall surrounding the park book a free walking tour. This one is called "Seoul fortress" and takes about 2 hours. You will learn about Korean history, the 4 main gates, visit the wall museum and walk up to the top of the park to get a good view of Seoul. It takes 2 to 3 hours because you have to get to the Dongdaemun Station to meet the guide. #GiveThanks

happy vacation! Happy youth! By the 30th birthday of a friend, we decided to return to 17 years old together! This is an interesting project that is worth experiencing in Seoul: We are a Korean school uniform rented by Hongdae. The cost of one day is 15,000 won, and if it is rented the next day, it is 3,000 won. The shooting point is my privately owned Luoshan Park! Many cafes with beautiful rooftops, Pear Blossom Cave Mural Village are also nearby, you can go shopping together ~ Luoshan Park also has hanbok, Korean school uniform rental, suitable for people who only rent a day to take pictures! The mural village in night is particularly romantic. We have a lot of delicious food in the art school district under the foot of the first love bridge. There are street performances in the evening. The photo sticker machine 3000 won!9

"Seoul Luoshan Park" Seoul's favorite place! none of them! When the little cutes go to Seoul, don't miss recommended in the afternoon, follow the mural village on the mountain, then drink coffee on the mountain to watch the sunset~ The sunset in Seoul is gentle and the whole mountain is a Korean drama. The sense of love and because it is very close to the city, so the surrounding city has a very good view ~ there is a very kind feeling

#meetseoul If you are in the mood for a walk, do check out Naksan Park. it is a pretty unique walk where you can find human sculptures and even some on lamps for unique human (structures) and shots. Pose with them too!

Naksan Park gets its name from its camel hump-like appearance. In Korean ‘nakta’ means camel and ‘san’ means mountain. So people refer to the park as Nakta Park or Naksan Park. The mountain is a solid granite bedrock. The Joseon royal family enjoyed the natural beauty of the granite mountain, but during the Japanese Colonial Period, a hasty manner of urban planning resulted in the demolition of most parts of the mountain. In an effort to save the remaining green belts, Naksan was designated as a park on June 10, 2002. Located in the center of the Seoul, this historical and beautiful park allows its visitors to view the magnificence of the entire city. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

First recommend a good place to see the night scene - Seoul Luoshan Park. Mountain called "Camel Mountain" or "Luoshan" because it looks like a camel back
