Day 2    Seoul City Wall Hike

 The Seoul City Wall exploration starts today. Hike the trails of Mount Baegak and Mount Bugaksan. After Bugaksan Mountain's summit (342m), look out for a 200+ years old January 21 Incident Pine Tree that bears the traces of fifteen bullets made during the gun battle between the South Korean military and police with the North Korean Special Forces unit. The hilly path of Bugaksan Mountain was used as an escape route for the North Korean commandos, who have failed in their attempt to assassinate the then-South Korean President, Park Chung-hee.

 Continue to Mount Inwangsan (338.2m), a rocky mountain whose hiking trail follows alongside Seoul City Wall on its ridges. Due to its granite rocky ridges, Inwangsan Mountain hiking trail provides unprecedented, unblocked views of Ansan Mountain, Bukhansan Mountain, Bugaksan Mountain and Namsan Mountain.

 Haneul Sky Park is the most popular of the five parks of World Cup Park, near Seoul World Cup Stadium. These parks were once a 15 years old (1978 to 1993) landfill that held over 92 million tons of garbage until the Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to turn the area into a large-scale environment and ecological park.
