Naksan Park : The hills are located in Seoul


The hills are located in Hyehwa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Ewha-dong, Dongseong-dong, Changshin-dong, Sungin-dong, Samseon-dong, Seongbuk-gu, and Bomun-dong. In the past, it was called camel mountain because it was similar to the back of a camel. It is said that during the Joseon Dynasty, cows were raised here to supply milk for the royal family. That's why there's a name called "Taraksan."

In 1996, the construction of the first stage of Naksan Park was completed after demolishing a civic apartment building, and in 2008, the construction of the second stage was completed by demolishing some houses in Samseon-dong and the third stage in 2010. The third stage of construction involves the construction of a trail on the east side of Seoul City Wall at the summit of Naksan Mountain and Hyehwa Gate. In the long run, the four-step plan is to incorporate the part of Catholic University/Sucharistic Campus that borders the fortress into the park. Apart from the park, houses are largely covered. Couples flock to Daehangno every weekend evening because it is close to Daehangno and overlooks downtown Seoul. If you go to the top, you can see downtown Seoul's Sadamoonan, especially the night view along with Namsan Mountain.


Transportation

From Jongno 5-ga Station, Dongdaemun Station, Dongmyo-myo Station, and Changshin Station, take the Seoul bus Jongno03 and get off at the last stop, it is the summit. From Hansung University Station, take the Seoul bus Seongbuk 02 and get off Hansung University, the last stop, and walk for five to 10 minutes to the top of Naksan Mountain. Of course, it is safe to walk at the above station. No matter how slowly you walk, it's normal to go up an hour. You can go up from Hyehwa Station, but the street is close, but the slope is rather steep (on the other hand, the easiest course for Naksan hiking trails). Although the Naver map says that Changshin Station is a nearby subway station, it is a 25 minute walk away from Changshin Station, so it is faster to take the Seoul bus Jongno 03.
