An unusual ambience reigns in this area of Seoul. It lies at the foot of Inwangsan, a 338m mountain, which forms an enclave of nature in the middle of the tower blocks. The climb to the top is one of the walks not to be missed - your efforts will be rewarded by a superb view of the city. Also visit the Seoul Museum of History and Seodaemun Prison History Hall, both of which offer fascinating insights into Korea's history.
