Seoul

Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea, had also been the capital of Baekje and Joseon. The city has been known by several names, such as Wiryeseong, Hansan, Hanseong, Hanyang, Yangju, Namgyeong and Gyeongseong. As shown by the prehistoric dwellings in the Amsa-song site, Seoul began to be inhabited by human beings in the Neolithic period. It has since then been one of the Korea's principal administrative centers for about two thousand years from the Three Kingdoms period to the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties.

Olympic Park

Olympic Park, a legacy of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, is a versatile park in Seoul serving as a sports space, cultural and artistic venue, and a place for history and education. It is broadly divided into two areas: the sports zone, featuring six stadiums, and Mongchontoseong, an early Baekje cultural site. The gymnastics arena in the sports zone has been remodeled into KSPO DOME, the fencing arena into the Handball Stadium, and the weightlifting arena into Woori Art Hall, allowing visitors to enjoy both sports activities and cultural performances. At Mongchontoseong, you can see historical sites such as pit houses and burial mounds. The Seoul Baekje Museum, located within the park, excavates and exhibits artifacts from Mongchotoseong.

Eungbongsan Mountain

Located in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, Eungbongsan Mountain is a charming 81-meter-high mountain. Thanks to its low elevation, the hike from Eungbong Station to Haengdang Station via the Palgakjeong Pavilion doesn't take long, but the route is filled with breathtaking scenery. Situated where the Hangang River and Jungnangcheon Stream meet, Eungbongsan Mountain offers a panoramic view of the wide-open Hangang River alongside multiple bridges, making it a must-visit spot! A natural retreat in the heart of Seoul, Eungbongsan Mountain is beautiful in every season, day or night!
