Hiking trip by subway
Seoul is special because mountains are right inside the city.
You can start hiking right after getting off the subway.
- **Inwangsan**: Easy course along fortress walls. Amazing night view.
- **Namsan**: Seoul's landmark, accessible by cable car or bus.
- **Bukhansan**: Challenge this for real hiking! The view is art.
Anyone can hike with just sneakers.
The view of Seoul from the peak will be an unforgettable gift.
Not going to the Himalayas (K-Gear)
On Korean mountains, you'll see people in colorful gear.
Many look like they are climbing the Himalayas with full equipment.
This is 'K-Hiking Fashion.'
For Koreans, hiking is not just exercise but a social event to show off style.
But don't worry!
Comfortable clothes and sneakers are enough for travelers.
The important thing is not the gear, but enjoying nature.
Real Goal: Pajeon & Makgeolli
Actually, there's a real reason Koreans go hiking.
It's for the delicious food after coming down!
There are always clusters of restaurants at the base of the mountain.
Especially **'Haemul Pajeon' (Seafood Pancake)** and **'Makgeolli' (Rice Wine)** are essential.
A cold cup of Makgeolli after sweating,
this is what Korean uncles call 'The Taste of Life.'
Manners needed on the mountain
On Korean mountains, people greet strangers.
Try saying lightly **"Annyeonghaseyo~"** to passersby.
Important rules!
1. **Take trash with you**: No bins on the mountain.
2. **Use earphones**: Loud music is rude.
3. **No Yaho**: Shouting scares animals, so it's avoided now.
Enjoy Korea's beautiful nature with consideration!
