This is Namhansanseong fortress located in Gyeonggi province, South Korea. It is only around an hour away from from Seoul. You can take the bus half way up and continue the hike from there. The air was fresh, the view was fantastic and it just makes your soul feel refreshed. There are also a few cafes there to chill at. This is the perfect city escape in South Korea 👍🏼

Namhananseong Fortess
#celebratewithtrip #suwon #korea 25 kilometers southeast of Seoul, South Korea, is the medieval mountain fortress city of Namhansanseong. It is positioned with the mountain's ridges for maximum defense, rising 480 meters above sea level. The stronghold, which is 12 km long, guards a sizable region that served as Korea's temporary capital city during the Joseon Dynasty. Namhansanseong illustrates how the many defense mechanisms theories in Korea were developed by fusing the context of daily life with defensive goals. In Korea, the fortress came to represent governmental authority.

Cafe Soom at Namhansanseong.
On the way up to Namhansanseong from Gwangju City, if you take the mountain path just before the direct sales market for agricultural products, you'll find Cafe Soom sitting picturesquely in the Ojeon-ri Dunjeon village.
A cafe named 'Soom' (Breath) in such a place? Surrounded by nothing but rice paddies and fields, I wondered why there were so many people at this seemingly unremarkable cafe.
But as I sat there, sipping on a cup of coffee and spacing out, a sense of peace found its way into my heart. The bakery's flavors are also delightful.
Where does this warm and cozy feeling come from? It's 'Soom'. I forgot the fact that I had to go home and ended up sitting there until late into the night.
