디시인사이드

I'm uploading some photos of the Buam-dong area that I visited last December.

First, I visited Mugyewonji. Next to Mugyewonji, there is a cultural space called Mugyewon, which often hosts exhibitions.

Mugyewon was originally the home of Prince Anpyeong, Yong Yong, the third son of King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty. I think this is where the life of Prince Anpyeong, who was an entertainer, appears. Currently, there is no way to check the Mugyewon stone carvings inside as it is on private property.

Next to Mugyewonji, there is a cornerstone of Cheonggye Dongcheon Stream.

Now move towards Baekseokdongcheon.

I think the walk from Jahamun Pass to Baekseokdongcheon is the most fantastic road you can find in Seoul. It feels like walking down a quiet country village road, but since the road runs along the foot of Bugaksan Mountain and overlooks Inwangsan Mountain, the elevation is quite high, so the scenery is nice.

In the middle of the way, there is a cafe on the corner of the mountain, which is said to be the setting for the first branch of the drama Coffee Prince. I haven't seen the drama, but the cafe itself is pretty, so it's a good place to visit regardless of the drama.

Hanyangdoseong Changuimun-Bukaksan Course. This course boasts the most extreme slope among all Hanyangdoseong courses. It is the best cost-effective course that allows you to get off the bus and reach the top of Mt. Bukaksan in just 20 minutes, but you have to pay a corresponding price...

The road to Baekseokdongcheon is very mysterious. The entrance to Baekseokdongcheon is hidden next to the parking lot of a private house, and as soon as you turn the corner of the wall, a fantastic view of Bukhansan Mountain's Hyangnobong Peak unfolds in front of you. When I visit Baekseokdongcheon, I always go up to Changuimun Gate and go down to Segeomjeong, and the biggest reason is to face this scenery. There were no photos taken that day, so I replaced them with photos from the year before last.

As you enter, there is a stone on the right that seems to indicate that you have come to Baekseokdongcheon.

Baekseokdongcheon. It is the site of a villa located in the Baeksasil Valley and was purchased and used by Chusa Kim Jeong-hee. The buildings remained until the 1960s, but after the Kim Shin-jo incident, the entire Bukaksan area was completely controlled and they appear to have deteriorated and been lost. Afterwards, restrictions were relaxed, it was designated as a scenic spot, and it was reopened.

There are Wolam rocks on the rock wall at the back. The scale is quite large, but it is written in print and has a heavy feel.

If you come down to Segeomjeong, you will come across Hyeontongsa Temple. It is a temple located downstream of Baeksasil Valley.

Baeksasil Valley is now disappearing into the darkness of the city. It is a place that gives you a mysterious feeling of returning to the present world.

If you keep going down, you will reach Hongjecheon Stream. Now I walked down the Hongje Stream trail to Hongje Station.

Three black tests. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was the best scenic spot around Hanseong, but it was rebuilt after a fire and the site became narrow due to road construction, so it remains in poor condition today.

Hong Ji-moon. During the reign of King Sukjong, Bukhansanseong Fortress was built and Tangchundaeseong Fortress connecting Bukhansanseong Fortress and Hanyangdoseong was built to block the Hongjecheon Stream, which was vulnerable to weak defenses. However, it was rebuilt after being washed away by a flood during the Japanese colonial period, with only a portion of the stonework remaining.

By the time we got down to Okcheonam, the sun had set.

Buam-dong and the upper reaches of Hongjecheon Stream are great places to experience nature that is difficult to find in downtown Seoul. In particular, the fact that it rained until the morning had a big impact. If you live in Seoul, I recommend taking half a day to visit Baekseok-dong Stream.
