#seoultrip Hanyangdoseong, Seoul City Wall was built for defense of the city of Seoul, the capital of Joseon, and to remark the city’s boundary. It served as a city wall from 1396 to 1910, longer than any other city wall in the world. It has 4 main gates and 4 auxiliary gates. Starting from Naksan Park at Heunginjimun gate onto Gwanghuimun gate near Dongdaemun History and culture Park. It is noticeable that different shapes of the stone makes the different construction time of the wall through your the age. #seoulcitywall #seoulhistory #celebratewithtrip #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #境外遊 #tripblazers #passionpassport #yuppijetrip2015 #yuppijeinseoul2015

Seoul was historically encircled by a wall. Throughout history, the development of the city gradually dismantled the wall. Today many sections of the wall are restored and one can hike/walk along the wall that encircled Seoul. Several sections are incorporated in the urban city, while others are complete hiking trails. Overall I think it's a great experience and you really get to feel the vastness of the city. The hike can be challenging at times (especially the north and northeastern section) so be prepared. Bring plenty of water and perhaps do the wall in sections. You will also pass by all of Seoul's historic gates which are neat historically restored testimonies of Seoul's history. #

#cityplaybook My solo trip to Seoul led me to some unexpected gems, and among them, the Seoul City Wall Museum truly stood out. Located conveniently within Heunginjimun City Wall Park, it was easy to find and offered a wonderfully peaceful experience – a rare find even in bustling Seoul. I started my exploration of the city wall, and upon descending from a section of the park, I found myself directly connected to the museum's second floor entrance. This was a great starting point, allowing me to gain a deeper understanding of the city wall's history and significance before continuing my walk along the Hanyangdoseong Fortress Wall. The museum is well-organized with permanent and special exhibition halls, as well as a data room, offering a wealth of information. The museum itself is not overly reliant on models; instead, it features numerous textual exhibits that greatly aided my comprehension of the fortress wall. It's truly fascinating to see photographs of the ancient city wall, some dating back to its construction in 1396, and to realize how it has endured through 600 years, safeguarding Seoul. The museum effectively conveys the rich cultural heritage embodied by this historical structure. One particularly interesting section detailed the reconstruction of Souimun (Seosomun), one of the city's gates. While officially named Souimun, it was more commonly known as Seosomun and was historically a place of execution for Catholics and followers of the Jonghakgyo religion. The exhibition showcased a "Four Great Gates" display, illustrating the bustling area around Souimun where goods were transported and people congregated, eventually forming Chilpae Market in the late Joseon Dynasty. It was quite a coincidence, as I had recently visited the Seosomun Shrine Museum and passed through the very spot where Chilpae Market once thrived. While I couldn't fully appreciate the inner appearance of the city wall from the front, climbing up to Heunginjimun Park offered a more detailed view. Although a previous winter trip hindered my ability to fully enjoy Seoul's outdoor activities due to expressway conditions, this visit to the Seoul City Wall Museum reminded me that there are indeed many wonderful places for solo travelers to enjoy in Seoul. For those planning a visit, the Hanyangdoseong Museum is open from 09:00 to 18:00 and offers free admission, with Mondays being its closing day. It's a highly recommended stop for anyone interested in delving into Seoul's rich history and architectural heritage. #seoultrip #museum

During my several visits to Korea, I always saw clay figurines decorating the eaves of royal palaces, tombs, and city gates. At first I thought it was similar to the animals used as decorations on buildings during the Momoyama period in Japan. It was not until I visited the Hanyang Metropolitan Museum that I understood the meaning behind it. At the front is Tang Sanzang, followed by Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and three little ghosts, and finally the dragon head. Its function is not only to ward off evil spirits, but also to pray for fire prevention and blessings for important buildings such as the imperial palace based on the story of the Flaming Mountain in Journey to the West. But taking Gyeongbokgung Palace as an example, it was completely destroyed by fire in 1945 and during the Sino-Japanese War, and the current buildings are rebuilt. It can only be seen that the Joseon Dynasty was deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Back to the Hanyang City Museum, it opened in 2014 and has just been ten years old. At that time, the Seoul City wanted to better preserve the city’s memory in order to make Seoul like an international metropolis. The three-story exhibition hall is divided into permanent exhibitions and planned exhibition halls. As an aside, the gates of Hanyang were named after benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. They were the Dongdaemun, Heunginjimun, which means compassion; the Seodaemun, which strengthens righteousness, was named Donuimun; the Namdaemun, which advocates "propriety", was called Sungnyemun; and the Northdaemun was named Sukjeongmun. It is designed for taking refuge. As for Xin, it is Puxin Pavilion, where people gather to celebrate the New Year every year. At different times, the way the city gate stones were stacked was very different, which is also an important part of the restoration of ancient monuments. There are also wood carvings of the First Good Man, the Hanyang Map, and rubbings of the inscriptions on the Hanyang Capital at that time. It can be seen that the officials at that time also liked to leave evidence of their political achievements. It is recommended to make this the first or last stop of your trip, which can make the Seoul historical site itinerary more interesting through the connection of history. #2月好地方2025

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #2024WishEvent #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent #koreatrip #HanyangdoseongMuseumBack After seeing the museum this afternoon, I walked around the back of the Hanyangdoseong Museum and had a quiet and leisurely time. Behind the museum, there is a walking path connected to the Hanyangdoseong, so it was a special space where you can feel nature and history in the city. In particular, the view of part of the city wall while walking along the path surrounded by trees and grass was impressive, and there were benches everywhere where you could sit and rest, which was nice!! 📌 Points for solo travelers Recommended activities: Take a leisurely walk along the trail, admire parts of the city wall up close, and take photos Hidden spots: A small shelter in the middle of the trail → A place to sit and relax with the city wall in the background Recommended snacks: A simple set of drinks and snacks purchased at a nearby convenience store (4,000 won) 🚨 Notes The trail may have stairs and slopes, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes The path may be slippery depending on the weather, so be careful It is more convenient to prepare water or a simple snack before walking The back of the Hanyangdoseong Museum is a space where you can take a quiet walk and feel the city wall and nature at the same time, so I was able to spend meaningful and peaceful time alone. Next time, I want to take a longer time and explore the city wall in depth along the trail! Become one with nature~~ㅋㅋㅋ 🌿

After watching the video and watching the digital experience, I was able to see the restored section of the city wall in more detail through the scale model at the end of the exhibition room. The model showed the characteristics of each section and the difference before and after the restoration at a glance, and it made me feel the structural beauty and historical value of the city wall once again. The best part was that the explanations for each section were provided on digital panels, making it easy to understand. The entire exhibition room felt like an immersive learning space!!!

It was interesting to learn about the characteristics and historical events of each section by touching the screen, and I could feel the immersion as if I was actually walking around the city wall.
