This is a lovely neighborhood of "Gangbuk" Seoul behind famous Mt. Bugak, with a wide variety of offerings, scenic and fascinating, but only a few "insiders" know about its very charming character. We will start at the "Sword-Washing Pavilion", then climb the ridge to a colorful little Buddhist temple fronted by the Buam Waterfall, and then walk through a beautiful hilltop forest, admiring the ruins of an 18th-century noble-scholar's retreat-house and it's carved-stone monument. Leaving into a tony ridgetop neighborhood, we'll visit another charming Buddhist temple (quite different from the former) with a designated-treasure Mountain-Spirit painting. Then we'll walk out on the high ridge, to enjoy the stunning views!
I can pick you up at your hotel, or we can meet at a Subway Station. We will catch a local bus from Gyeongbok-gung Metro Subway Station Exit #3, and will begin at the evocative "Sword-Washing Pavilion". After the forested parklands, a hidden quiet peaceful area with late-Joseon-era ruins-relics amidst great trees, and the temples, we will pass several charming cafes, and visit the most evocative decorated one, famous from a couple of Korean TV dramas. Finally we will descend into the best known urban area of Buam-dong and be introduced to its unique cafes and art-museums. We will end at the historic North Gate of the Seoul City Wall, now a popular trailhead; we may then eat lunch together in a great restaurant if you wish; and from there we can catch several forms of transportation to your hotel or wherever you need to get next. Our guide will be explaining everything along the way, as an expert. We will then walk along the top of an extensive ridgeline offering some great views of northern-most Seoul.
