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
so true...
Yes it was a nice walking.
Pictures are good....
Mt. Namsan is in which country?
South Korea where I live in now

@slowwalker history is something that may always be remembered, especially with the construction made, looks simple, and unique, but has a high quality, I like this post
I've been to Bukchon Hanok Village but not mt. namsan, I wanted to go in the tower area but I had very limited time when I visited Seoul.
Hope to visit again. Reminded me of those days.

Beautiful seoul.. I love the greenery of it.
Hello @slowwalker! It is really amazing to see this bridge still standing solid since so many years, wow! The structures build in the ancient times were really very solid and nowadays we don't see these!
great a posting
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. If you are interested in it, visit my post :)
It's a very historic place with amazing relics that had survived the ages.
Amazingly beautiful..
Very particular the ancient bridge ... beautiful building that is handed down to us .. We must keep these signs ... are our history
Wow! It is amazing to think that 600 years ago people could design something strong enough to still be used today.
You beat me by 14 hours today. LOL I was slow in posting today I guess.
Looks like a very peaceful place to visit, I love that sort of historic architecture. One day I would like to visit Seoul. Won’t be for a while though
Incredible photos, wonderful colors! I follow you to see others.
