Exploring Ancient and Modern Korea On the Seoul City Wall 🇰🇷 Hanyangdoseong Part 2

#seoul #korea #koreatravel

Hello everyone! In this video we do the second half of the walk around the Seoul City Wall or Hanyangdoseong Trail (한양도성길), and we start at Hyehwamun (혜화문), which is very close to Dongdaemun (동대문). Although today’s journey is mostly through the city, we discover that a lot of the wall is surrounded by parks, creating the feeling that you are walking through nature while walking through downtown Seoul (서울). We then had some absolutely amazing bibimbap (비빔밥) near Heunginjimum (흥인지문), the official name for Dongdaemun (동대문), and continue down the path all the way to Namsan (남산) where we go up the plaza to see the N Seoul Tower (N서울타워), but walking along the Hanyangdoseong gave us different views, and we finish the trek near Namdaemun (남대문) or Sungnyemun (숭례문) to finish the loop around Seoul, which ended up being a really amazing journey to learn about Korea’s past and present. Enjoy!
