[2024 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Seoul City Wall Museum (Updated Oct)

514 Years Old City Wall in Seoul

#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 City wall hike

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. #

The walls of Hanyangdoseong. Built around 600 years ago, originally protected the city of Seoul from invasions. This section of the city wall has 4 main gates. It’s open to public for hiking, but for this section passport or national ID is required (as Army’s facilities are located nearby). #GiveThanks

🇰🇷 A Walk along Seoul City Wall from Dongdaemun to Naksan Park

#citywalk If you enjoy city walking like me, you should not miss Seoul City Wall Trail when you're in Seoul. The Fortress Wall of Seoul, also known as Hanyangdoseong, was built in 14th century during the Joseon period to safeguard the boundaries of the capital city. Hanyangdoseong has four major and four small gates which are important historical landmarks in Korea. I started my walk from Dongdaemun subway station exit 1, from which I could see the Heunginjimun Gate on the opposite side of the road. Then it was a steep hike from Heunginjimun Park along the city wall, passing by Ihwa Mural Village before reaching Naksan Park. Naksan Park offers panoramic views of downtown Seoul especially during sunset and evening. From Naksan Park, the walk came to an end with a steep descent via the trail towards Hyehwamun Gate near to Hansung University Station. #korea #southkorea #seoul #dongdaemun #citywall #naksanpark #cityview #naksan #park #hike #tripblazers
