What to expect

Amazing night views with historical sites! We will hike in Inwangsan mountain and see historical sites, such as Sajik altar and Seoul city wall. The night views from the mountain are amazingly beautiful. Before the hike, we will visit Sajik Park which holds Sajikdan and Tangun shrine. King Taejo, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty, constructed Jongmyo shrine and Sajikdan respectively east and west of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Services for the gods of Earth and Crops were performed there. Tangun shrine enshrines Tangun, the legendary founder of Korea. The trail in Inwangsan is easy and enjoyable. We will walk along Hanyangdoseong fortress (Seoul city wall) during the hike. It was also built in the Joseon dynasty to protect the city from foreign enemies. It takes less than one hour to get to the peak. You will have peaceful moments watching the city. I was born and raised in Seoul. I think this is the best night city views. These are just fantastic! After the hike, we will take a bus to the city (The bus fee is not included in the tour) Please check out our Instagram for more info! :) @honeytrailkorea
