History of Seoul have been more than 2000 years. It had been a capital for 700 years. So There are so many relics of old history. But interesting thing is that Some of the relics are used until now.
It was a sunny Saturday I walked around Mt. Namsan
Mt. Namsan is small mountain in the center of Seoul city. Of course Mt, Namsan was part of outside fortress of Seoul walls. Seoul Wall was connected by mountains surrounding Seoul city. Namsan was a one of those mountains.
I'd like to walk along all walls. So I continued to walk from where I stopped before. I started walk from an Old bride name of Soo Pyo Kyo Bridge. This bridge was a measure of level of water in Seoul City.
For more than 600 years It have been working it's work as a bridge.
It has really nice view. you could take a photo.
It looks really great. If you 'd like to enjoy a scent of history, this bridge is a good choice. You can get there by subway easily.
You can walk through.
Strange thing is that there were no tourists. I don't know the reason why.
There are nice place to walk from the bridge.
By the road there was a stream, this stream made me pleasant.
In the end of the stream, there was a traditional style house for Cafe and Restaurant.
Coffe smell was good and made me comfortable. The building behind the house is the Hotell Shilla.
I took a rest for a while.
At the starting point to Mt.namsan, I could see the wall. Yes here starts wall.
Thank you for reading.
This is just so awesome man!

A lovely day for a walk, @slowwalker.
Evert city has its past and its secrets and Seoul is no exception.
The tourists would be taking the scenic route via the cable car to the mountain top to see the vast panoramic vistas of Seoul City from Seoul Tower, but you chose the less travelled route of walking the path around the ancient walls.
It's fascinating to think that these mountains were at one time lookout stations to warn of attacks and that residents would be warned by smoke signals.
But today, you were content to linger by the historic bridge and be comforted by the peaceful waters of the stream.
The lovely trees provided a shadowy oasis to stop and rest, but even better was a modern cafe serving delicious hot coffee at the end of your walk.
Another nice Sunday walk around Seoul with you, my friend.

Nice insight... walking is a really great way to get a feel for a place.. whether it's your home town or somewhere entirely new. You see things at a slower pace and from a different perspective

I've been wanting to go to Korea for a while, @slowwalker. This is a great substitute until I actually book my trip. A lot of the architecture reminds me of my time in Japan, which was surprising to me!

Wow! How amazing. The geography of the place sounds really interesting. I love the block-work legs of the bridge in the one photo. So charming!! Almost fairy tale like.
What a wonderful experience and I can just smell the fresh air!
Thanks for another great post.

I've only been in Namsan Tower and the vicinity. I didn't explore the mountain. But I'd love to visit Korea again. It's one of my favorite countries to visit. The view and the people are just awesome.

Oh gosh. I'm so glad that you have kept writing about Korea travel point because I'm Korean! I think Korean government has to promote Korean culture through any methods such as Steemit or youtube but they didn't. So this kind of post is a great chance to make people see Korean culture easily. By the way, I keep writing about Denmark exchange student life and Europe travel.
