Seoul Searching Hikes

23 05 2010

Bukhansan Mt.

As you might or might not know, Korea is very mountainous. As a result, hiking is very popular here in Seoul. This is one of my favorite parts of Korea, the nature. Best of all, it’s free for everyone to enjoy! I’ve been hiking twice: once at In Wang Mountain, and another at Buk Han Mountain. San(산) means mountain in Korean, so that would be Inwangsan (이왕산) and bukhansan (북한산). Bukhansan was quite far, and the hike took me around 4 hours to do. Bukhansan is located near the Suyu Subway Station, then you’d have to take a bus to the mountain. There were many many people hiking up and down this mountain, especially on Sundays.

The scenery is to die for. On that note, the hike was also kind of dangerous–make sure you have the right shoes.
