RE: At the starting point to Mt. Namsan.
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
so true...
Yes it was a nice walking.
