Exploring the Seochon-Inwangsan area


Starting point - Singyo-dong (Bus stop)

A neighborhood famous for its beautiful appearance. Area west of the Blue House. Even if you move just a little bit, the administrative district changes. Pilun-dong, Tongin-dong, Singyo-dong, Hyoja-dong, Ogin-dong, Sajik-dong, Nusang-dong, Suseong-dong, etc...; Most are within a 5-minute walk. It is unusually divided into administrative districts, but I don’t know why. It doesn't seem like the population density is high. There are no apartments at all. Inwangsan Mountain Scenic Area + Military Area...

Near Seoul School for the Blind. A nice residential area spreads out over the retaining wall.

Remodeled old Korean houses form an alley. These houses are used as guest houses.

There are many espresso bars, wine-whisky restaurants, and dessert cafes. In particular, espresso bars seem to be a popular style these days.

The cleanest and most expensive traditional market I've ever been to. Tongin Market. Oil tteokbokki is famous. It has become like a tourist attraction, so I don't know if local residents actually shop here.

Suseong-dong residential area. There are many old townhouses and brick buildings.

The photo above is a trace of the Okin Pilot Apartment (1971). One side of the load-bearing wall has been preserved. A signboard has been installed. It seems to have been designated as a kind of modern cultural property.

Suseong-dong Valley

A building that served as a resting place for the Inwangsan Guards. The upper part was demolished, and only the semi-basement level is preserved.

Traces of guide stones. What was it written?

Next to the rest area, there is a swimming pool using valley water. About five pyeong. The depth appears to be within 2m.

If you hike along the valley, you will come across Seokguram Grotto. There is a Buddha statue carved on the rock. Bukhansan Mountain is famous for its strength. So there are many temples. Many artists and religious people flock here. In comparison, Inwangsan Mountain feels quiet. 

No matter where you go in the commercial area at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain, there are many restaurants that cater to hikers, such as Baeksuk. Seochon is definitely young and diverse. But it doesn't seem to have any depth. There aren't many old stores, and I see the signs changing every time I go.

Seochon has many alleys, so the roads can be confusing. However, there is a clear signpost pointing to Inwangsan Mountain in the north, so it is easy to get your bearings. If you leave the mountain behind you, you will come across a large road.
