if you want a good view of Seoul then ingwang some mountain is the only place to go you can see much
of the city's Horizon and many skyscrapers from here are still feeling far enough away from the
hustle and bustle though the mountain alone has many distinct natural features that make
it completely different from other mountains you may have visited it's also got a lot of ancients
and modern buildings on it specifically it has fourth walls built hundreds of years ago to ward
off Invaders while some parts are still used by the South Korean military today this does mean
that some parts of the mountain are off limits but you'll clearly be able to see where you can
and can't go when there it is a perfect hiking destination even for seoul's many City Slickers

issues with pollution so be conscious that you don't Litter or leave any other waste while you're

the entire country it's the city break to end city breaks and you could live there for years

easy to get to by plane and South Korea's rail infrastructure means that it's also easy to get
out to anywhere else using Seoul as a base but while you're there there are plenty of things to
do seoul's food scene is well renowned with many celebrated restaurants serving food not only from
