Seoul City Wall Hiking Trails

The wall, which follows the ridges of Baegak(Bugaksan), Naksan( Naktasan), Namsan(Mongmyeoksan) , and Inwangsan, the four main mountains surrounding the center of Seoul, has been rebuilt several times since its initial construction in 1396. The wall measures between 5 and 8m high and is 18.6km long, and it served as city wall for the longest time among the existing walls in the world.

Seoul City Wall has four main gates and four auxiliary gates. The main gates are Heunginjimun, Donuimun, Sungnyemun and Sukjeongmun, while the auxiliary gates are Hyehwamun, Souimun, Gwanghuimun and Changuimun. In addition, the five-arch flood gate and two-arch floodgate to the south of Heunginjimun were built to transport water from Cheonggyecheon Stream to outside the wall.

What is Seoul City Wall?

Korean history is engraved in Seoul City Wall. The wall preserves a succession of building technics and structure developed by the Korean people from the Three Kingdoms period onwards. It also shows the whole process of building-technic development during Joseon.

Seoul City Wall was originally built about 620 years ago. The actual construction work continued for 98 days, half in the winter and half in the summer of 1394. Some 197,400 people were mobilized for the construction of the wall, which was divided into 97 sections of around 600 feet. The sections were named in the order of the characters in the Thousand Character Classic, a primer for teaching Sino-Korean. Workers from same counties and prefectures were assigned to a specific section. Originally, wall sections on flat ground were built of rammed earth, while those on mountainous terrain were built of stone. However, in 1422, the earthen sections of the wall were replaced with stone as well. In 1704, another massive restoration and rebuilding project was carried out, as parts of the wall had collapsed over the course of time. And since then several restorations have been carried out, too. During the construction of the wall, records of the works were inscribed on the stone blocks of the wall.

Seoul City Wall lost a large part of its former appearance during the country’s modernization. In 1899, the first tram lines were built to connect Seoul with outlying communities, and the wall gates lost their original function. Thereafter, the wall connected to the gates were demolished for the expansion of the city’s road networks from 1907. In the Japanese colonial period, Japanese governors deliberately dismantled the wall gates or neglected to be damaged. Donuimun and Souimun Gate were dismantled and Gwanghuimun and Hyehwamun Gate were seriously damaged. Also the wall was damaged in that local residents built their houses too near to it. After Korean liberation from Japan, the wall continued to be damaged in the rush of modernization.

Reconstruction of Seoul City Wall began at a site around Sukjeongmun Gate, behind the presidential residence, shortly after a unit of the North Korean Special Forces infiltrated Seoul on 21 January 1968. That project was extended to the entire wall section from 1974. However, the integrity of Seoul City Wall was damaged in places as conservation and restoration works were overly focused on rejoining severed sections. Seoul Metropolitan Government fully recognized these problems, and established the department exclusively responsible for the wall, Seoul City Wall Division in September 2012. And the city government drew up master plan for the conservation and management of Seoul City Wall in accordance with the criteria for UNESCO World Heritage Sites in October 2013.

As of 2014, some 70% (12.8km) of entire Seoul City Wall has been restored, and Sukjeongmun, Gwanghuimun, and Hyehwamun were rebuilt, although Gwanghuimun and Hyehwamun had to be put on locations near their original sites.

*<National Treasure No.853> Suseon Jeondo (Complete Map of Seoul) [1840’s | by Kim Jeong-ho (presumed) | 82.5cmx 67.5cm | Korea University Museum Collection]

The term Suseon means “the prime goodness”, coming from “shiji(史記, history book of Sima Qian). Suseon Jeondo is complete map of Seoul in Joseon, herein the term Suseon is used to emphasis “building of the prime goodness starts in Seoul".

[Excavation site of Seoul City Wall at the foot of Hoehyeon, Namsan] In 2013, a section of the wall(94.1m), which had been demolished in 1925 (during the Japanese Colonial Period) to build the Joseon Shinto Shrine was excavated. This section of the wall, built with both original stone blocks from the wall and new stone blocks used for its repair, shows the layers of 600-years history of the wall.

[A stone block of the wall, inscribed as “Gangjayukbaekcheok”] A Stone of the wall, written as “Gangjayukbaekcheok ” was discov-ered in an embankment near the Namsan J-Gran House. The stone block is the record of the constructon section and length. The original position of this stone is unknown, as the embankment was built with the stones acquired from the demolished wall.

1What is Seoul City Wall?

Cradling Life

Seoul City Wall, which protected Seoul for some 600 years, closely affected the daily life of the people inside. Residents were informed of the opening and closing times of the city gates by the sound of the bell hanging in Bosingak belfry on Jongno. The bell was struck thirty-three times to lift the curfew in the early morning and twenty-eight times to announce the curfew in the evening. The gates of private houses were opened and closed according to the tolling of the bell, so the opening and closing times of the city gates controlled the rhythm of the citizen’s life.

Seoul City Wall was also a boundary between life and death. Everyone who died, whether king or commoner, had to be buried outside the wall. Thus, living within the wall signified life itself to the people in Seoul.

Seoul City Wall represented the capital itself. People headed towards the capital from countryside would see the wall in the distance and realized they were nearing their destination. The wall meant something different to the scholars who traveled to the capital to take the state examinations, success in which would land them a government post. Some of those candidates, hoping to pass the exam, would walk around the entire wall. This practice became popular among local residents and developed into a traditional amusement going around the wall and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Seoul City Wall helped unite the capital with its suburbs. Quarrying was prohibited inside the wall, stones used for the wall had to be supplied from outside. Although the wall was built on the ridges of Mts. Baegak, Nakta, Mongmyeok, and Inwang, the stone materials came from areas around Mts. Bukhansan and Achasan outside the wall.

The capital defense system was anchored by Seoul City Wall. The wall alone was insufficient for defending the capital. during times of external invasion or civil rebellion, the wall was never used for the purpose of defense. Therefore, people commonly complained about all the work to build the wall in that is useless. On September 11, 1971 in lunar calender, King Yeongjo proclaimed the decree on guarding the walls, declaring, “In an emergency, I will be the first to go up to the fortified wall to defend the city with the people.” Moreover, the king assigned each defense section to a community inside the wall so that they could protect their own section with their own weapons in event of an emergency.

[Naksan Mountain Trail] As the administrative district of Seoul has expanded greatly, Seoul City Wall, which once marked the boundary between Hanseongbu (Capital Prefec-ture in Joseon) and its outskirts 600 years ago, has now become a cultural property in the center of Seoul.

Seoul City Wall is the outcome of a succession of developments regarding the structure and the techniques used to construct fortress walls on both mountainous terrain and flat ground since Goguryeo. Seoul City Wall pairs royal palaces and fortress walls of Bukhansanseong and Namhansanseong, which protected the capital city. The shape of the stone blocks and inscriptions on them indicate the construction date and time period.

Seoul City Wall was built along the natural topography around Seoul. Respect for nature is a long-held tradition of the Korean people. Thus, the wall, which was built in this natural way, became a part of the natural environment over time and a subject of culture and art.

Seoul City Wall is one of the world’s longest and oldest city walls. It is rare to find city walls the size of Seoul City Wall in any city with a population of ten million people or more. Although some sections are damaged, 70% of the entire length of the wall has been preserved or rebuilt.

Seoul City Wall was registered on UNESCO’s World Heritage Tentative List on 23 November 2012. Getting Seoul City Wall listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is an expression of the Korean people’s desire and resolution to preserve the natural and historical landscape of Seoul and to hand it down to future generations. The most important factor in preserving any cultural heritage is the love by the residents who live with that cultural heritage.

The wall were completed by two sepa-rate projects in January and August of 1396(lunar calender). The stone sec-tions of the wall were built on moun-tainous terrain, while rammed earth sections were constructed on flat ground. Natural stones were shaped for use in the construction of the wall.

The wall reconstruction project in Jan-uary of 1422(lunar calender) replaced the rammed earth sections with natu-ral stones chiseled into kernel shape.

The stone blocks used in the rebuild-ing of the wall were made in a stand-ardized size of 40~45cm in length and width, preserving the wall more solid than before.

Square(60cm x 60cm)stone blocks were used to construct the wall. Stone blocks with character engravings can be seen along the parapet. Research into the inscriptions is ongoing.

Beautiful Seoul City Wall

Along the wall are various stones bearing inscriptions. At the wall around the entrance to Dongdaemun Seonggwak Park, these stone blocks were replaced together during the maintenance of the wall. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the names of the counties and prefectures in charge of constructing the section were written, while in the 15th century the name and position of the supervisors and lead technicians were engraved on the stone blocks.

The section of the wall on flat ground around city stands in harmony with the dense forest of buildings in downtown area. It is a wonderful cultural heritage that is easily accessible anytime. This photo shows the right- and left-hand sides of the wall and Sungnyemun, which was destroyed by fire in 2008 and restored in 2013.

Built in the reign of King Taejo, the section of the wall beside the wooden stairway, which runs along the eastern ridge of Namsan, still looks like it did 600 years ago.

Looking down at Inwangsan from Inwang Gokseong(round-projected fortress wall), it is possible to imagine the picturesque view of old Seoul City Wall stretching along the foothills of Inwangsan and gently folding the downtown area, The photo shows the newly-restored section of the wall along the western ridgeline of Inwangsan.

From within the wall, only a roof of the wall, roughly the shoulder height of a man, can be seen. The hiking circuit path of the wall on the Naksan Trail is arranged outside the wall so that visitors can appreciate magnificence and solidness of the wall at a glance.

The section of the wall that follows the ridges of Mounts Baegak and Inwangsan has become a part of the natural surroundings, creating a sublime view. This photo of the wall was taken from Baegak Gokseong.

In the reign of King Sejong, the natural stones used to build the wall were chiseled into kernel shapes. A section of the wall built in this way remains well preserved in the backstreet of Jangchung Gymnasium. Many inscribed stone blocks can also be seen in this section.

Lights have been installed along the Naksan Trail, making it an excellent place to enjoy a stroll even in the evening. If you follow the circuit path to the top, you can admire night view of Seoul, as seen in this photo of the wall taken from the top of Naksan.

[ Seokpajeong Pavillion (Seoul Museum) ] <Tangible Cultural

Property No. 26>　Seokpajeong and Seoul Museum are situated in the northwest to the Changuimun. Seokpajeong, a beautifully-constructed traditional Korean house dating from the mid-19th century, was the residence of Emperor Gojong’s farther. There were seven buildings, but now only the Anchae (main house), Sarangchae (guesthouse), and Byeolchae (separate building) remain. The remaining buildings became part of the Seoul Museum of Art, where visitors can see some 100 paintings by Korean modern and contemporary artists including Lee Jungseob, Park Sookeun, Cheon Gyeongja, Kim Gichang, and Oh Chigyun.

[ January 21, Pine tree ]� There is a pine tree on the circuit path running down towards Cheongundae from Baegakmaru(top of mountain). This approximately 200-year-old pine tree bears the traces of about fifteen bullets made during the gun battle between the South Korean military and police and the North Korean Special Forces unit, who infiltrated Korea on January 21, 1968. From this spot, a wide panorama between Bukhansan Mountain and Baegak spreads out beyond the wall.

[ Changuimun ] �<Historic Site No. 149> Changuimun, situated on the northwest section of the wall, between mounts Inwangsan and Baegak, is the only auxiliary gate whose gate tower has survived to the present day. This gate tower was destroyed in 1592 during the war against Japan, and was reconstructed in 1741. Changuimun is now also known as Jahamun, since the scenery around the gate seems similar to that of scenic site Jahadong in Gaegyeong, the capital of Goryeo.

[ Baegak Gokseong ]�Gokseongs are rounded, projecting sections of the wall which exist in Inwangsan and Baegak. Only Baegak Gokseong is open to the public, and it is one of the best places to admire the mountainous topography of Seoul.

[ Baegakmaru ] � Baegakmaru is the highest point of the wall; a stone post inscribed with Baegak, Altitude of 342m stands there. During the first construction project, the whole length of the wall was divided into 97 sections, which were named in the order of the characters in the Thousand Character Classic. The first section was called Cheon (天; sky) and the last one Jo (弔; condolences). Baegakgmaru is the first ‘Cheon (天; sky)’ section of the wall.

What you need to know about the wall

[ Circuit path of the Wall outside Ammun ] There used to be a circuit where soldiers would patrol around the inside and outside of the wall during the Joseon. Ammun is a small doorway used for patrol and maintenance of the wall.

Drawing on the arch ceiling� A phoenix is engraved on the front of Hongye(half-arched door similar to rainbow) on Changuimun, and another one is painted on the ceiling. However, there is popular saying that they are not phoenixes but chickens. As the topography outside Changuimun resembles a centipede, the chickens are put on there as the natural enemy of centipede to keep the balance of surrounding topography.

[ Sukjeongmun Gate ] Sukjeongmun, situated on the north side of the wall, is the only remaining gate whose sides are still connected with the wall. Built in 1976, the gate tower was an entirely new addition to the wall.

[ Malbawi Information Center and Scenic Views ] Malbawi is a large rock in Samcheong Park. There are two opinions about the origin of the rock’s name because of its different meanings in the same sound. Some said that the word "Mal" means "the last one" because the rock is positioned at the foot of Baegak, while others said that it means "horse" as people tethered their horses to the rock. There are two exellent view points around Malbawi; one directs to Seongbuk-gu, another directs to Jongno-gu. To get to the points , it needs to carefully check the signs since the main trail splits into several different places such as the Sukjeongmun Information Center, Malbawi Information Center, Samcheong Park, and Waryong Park.

[ Bukchon Hanok Village ] Bukchon, an old community located between Palace of Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung, was residential area to royal family members as well as the families of high government officials in Joseon. In this area, different types of several hundred Korean traditional houses(hanok) clustered together, including Yun Posun's House in Anguk-dong, which was built towards the end of the Joseon. Most of the houses were built in the 1910s and 1920s or, in the case of the urban-style hanok, from the 1930s.

Why is Sukjeongmun always closed?� In Asia, the north traditionally represents shadows, darkness, and femininity, while the south represents light, masculinity, and brightness. Regarding the topography of Seoul, the north side of the city is characterized by hillside and the south side is low-lying ground, so it is said that yin, or feminine, energy is stronger. Thus, Sukjeongmun, the north gate usually remains closed except in times of severe drought.There was also a popular saying that if Sukjeongmun was opened, the local women would become lustful. In the Chines Classic mulberry was often reffered to the dating place. Coincidentally, there were some facilities related to mulberry outside Sukjeongmun such as Seonjamdan , being used to pray for a rich silkworm harvest. It might be one of the reason that people referred Sukjeongmun to those sayings.

[ Manhae Han Yongun Simujang House ] <Monument No. 7>

Simujang, located under Bukjeong Village, was once the home of Han Yongun, a famous Korean Buddhist reformer and independence activist. It is said that he had the house built facing north because he didn’t want to see the Government-General of Korea Building, seat of the Japanese colonial administration.

[ Bukjeong Village ] Picturesque Bukjeong Village spreads out beyond the Ammun (Secret Path), which is located on the wall towards Seongbuk-dong, near Waryong Park. The village consists of a cluster of some 500 tiled-roofed houses built in the 1960-70s, and is a well-known shooting location for TV dramas and films set in 1960-70s Seoul.

[ Hyehwamun ] It is Dongbukmun(Northeast Gate), one of the four auxiliary gates on the wall. It was originally called Honghwamun at the time of its construction in 1396, but was renamed as Hyehwamun in 1511. The gate tower was demolished in 1928, followed by Hongye(half-arched door) in 1938. However, Hyehwamun was reconstructed in its current location, a little further north from its original site, in 1994.

[ Sangheo Lee Taejun’s House ] <Folklore Cultural Property No.

11> Lee Taejun (1904∼?), a Korean famous writer, lived in this house for about ten years from 1933. He named the house Suyeonsanbang (“Writer’s House in the Mountains”). One of the auxiliary buildings is now used as a traditional teahouse.

[ Choi Sunu House in Seongbuk-dong ] <Registered Cultural

Property No. 268>　This house was inhabited by the Korean art historian Choi Sunu (1916∼1984). When the house was in danger of being demolished, the National Trust of Korea came to the rescue, and the house earned the title “Citizens’ Cultural Heritage No. 1.” Built in the 1930s, it is a typical example of a middle-class family residence in Seoul.

[ Kansong Art Museum ] Kansong Art Museum is Korea’s first private art museum, dedicated to displaying old documents, paintings and calligraphic works collected by the famous Korean art collector Chun Hyungpil. The museum houses many first-class works of art and leading Korean cultural properties, including an original copy of Hunminjeongeum, The Proper Sounds for the Instruction of the People (Haerye Edition), and Celadon Prunus Vase with Inlaid Cloud and Crane Design.

Interesting Facts about the Wall

[ Traces of Seoul City Wall ] Traces of the wall can be seen from the

backstreet of Kyungshin High School to Hyehwamun. Some parts of the

wall were used as the school fence (wall), or stone bolcks were taken from

the wall to build the foundations for houses. Traces of the wall can be seen

again in front of the Dusan Villa Building, and they extend for about 150m

towards the Official Residence of the Seoul Mayors.

Heunginjimun Gate Trail

Naksan Mounatain Trail

This hiking trail runs from Hyehwamun to Heunginjimun, passing via Naksan (124m), the lowest mountain of Seoul’s four

inner mountains. Naksan is also known as Naktasan (“Camel Mountain”) or Tarak, due to its resemblance to a camel’s humps. This

course is relatively easy due to its gentle slope. Alert visitors will notice the different shapes of the stones depending on the time of

construction of the wall, as they walk along the path behind the Catholic Univ. of Korea.

[ Jangsu Village ] Situated next to the wall in the southeast of Naksan Park, Jangsu Village originally formed as a shantytown after the Korean War, and was named Jangsu(longevity) Village as the majority of the population was over 60 years old. When the village was designated as a redevelopment area due to its narrow alleys and old buildings, the inhabitants managed to halt the redevelopment project, and a village regeneration project was carried out instead. Jangsu Village is considered a successful case of a village regeneration project being conducted with residents’ participation.

[ Naksan Park ] Naksan Park(Playground) is situated inside the wall, and can be reached from Jangsu Village via the Ammun (Secret Path). Naksan Park, which is also known as the Montmartre of Seoul, offers visitors great views of the city, including splendid views of the sunset and Seoul at night.

[Jajidongcheon Well and Biudang House] Jajidongcheon (Purple Mushroom Village Well) is associated with Queen Song, the consort of King Danjong. After Danjong abdicated the throne, Song also became a commoner. She had to dye fabrics and sell them for a living. Whenever white fabric was washed using water from this well, its color automatically turned from white to purple. The phrase Jajidongcheon(紫芝洞泉) is engraved on the rock behind the well. To the rear of the Cheongryongsa Temple stands “Jeongeopwongubi,” a stele erected in 1771 during the reign of King Yeongjo. Jeongeopwon was the house where Song lived.Biudang, the house of Yi Su-gwang, a famous Joseon scholar, was restored in front of what is assumed to have been the site of Jajidongcheon. The site was originally inhabited by Yu Gwan, one of Yi’s fifth-generation ancestors on his mother’s side. Biudang means “A house is enough to take shelter from the rain.” Although Yu Gwan was an important minister, he had to put up an umbrella in the room whenever it rained, i.e. he lived in a very humble way.

[Belvedere of Seoul City Wall] The roof of the wall, roughly about the shoulder height of a man, is only visible from inside the wall. The hiking circuit path of the wall on the Naksan Trail is arranged outside the wall so that visitors can see the main structure of the wall (people can also go inside the wall through Ammun). In addition, visitors can observe the magnificent, solid structure of the wall at a glance, and compare the different techniques used to build the wall during the reigns of Sejong, Sukjong, and Sunjo.

Village Regeneration Project The Jangsu Village regeneration project was conducted to improve the residential environment by enhancing the characteristics and historical value of the village, unlike typical redevelopment projects in which entire communities are demolished to make way for high-rise apartments. Village regeneration projects are now under way at a number of communities, including Bukjeong, Jangsu, and Ihwa.

[ Ihwa Village ] Ihwa Village, just inside the wall on the Naksan Trail, was established many years ago. It used to be regarded as an area that had fallen behind in Seoul, but since 2006, with the government’s support, artists have colorful murals on the walls of the buildings and installed sculptures here and there, giving the community a bright and cheerful atmosphere. From the end of the stairway at the top of Naksan, walkers can see the wall, which encloses Ihwa Village.

[ Sewing Village in Changsin-dong(Site of Quarry) ] During the Joseon, retired court ladies lived in Changsin-dong outside the Naksan section of the wall. After 1960, the area became a center of the apparel industry as subcontractors who made clothing gathered from Dongdaemun Market. There is the steep rocky cliff (40m in height, 201m in width) in the town that was used as a quarry from the Daehan Empire to the Japanese Colonial Period. Now, the area is packed with houses, even on the cliff.

[ Ehwajang House ] < Historic Site No. 497>�Ehwajang was the private residence of Syngman Rhee, the first President of the Republic of Korea. He occupied the house upon his return to Korea from America until his presidential inauguration (1947~1948). The annex, called Jogakdang House, is where the President planed the composition of Korea’s first Cabinet. The building is now used as the Syngman Rhee Memorial Hall. However, it is undergoing maintenance works and reopen in 2015.

[ Marronier Park ] Marronier Park was established in the former location of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Law of Seoul National University, which were moved to the Gwanak Campus in 1975. The park is named after the Marronier trees that line the streets of Daehak-ro. The red-brick building on the right-hand side of the park, built at the beginning of the 1930s, was used as the main building of Seoul National University. However, after the relocation of the University to the Gwanak Campus, the building became the government office of the Korean Culture & Arts Foundation.

[ Main building of the Former National Industrial Institute ] <Historic Site No. 279>�This was called the Main building of the Former National Industrial Institute, although it was actually the main building of the Experiment Center, which was constructed in 1912. It is currently being used as the History Archive Office of the Korea National Open University.

Notice : Visitors are recommended to be silent for the residents of Ihwa Village.※ Guide Tip: The Seoul City Wall Exhibition Hall is located on Floors 1-3 of the Seoul Design Support Center, inside Dongdaemun Seonggwak Park.

[ Real-name construction system and inscribed stone blocks ] Some of the stone blocks used to build the wall have characters inscribed in them. Such stones are most commonly found around the section of the wall next to Dongdaemun Seonggwak Park, where they were collected and put together during the wall maintenance project. In the reigns of Kings Taejo and Sejong, the stones were inscribed with the names of the county and prefecture responsible for constructing a given wall section, as well as the name of that section, while in the mid-Joseon, they were marked with the names of the supervisors and lead technicians, and the construction date. The inscribed stone blocks in the photo on the right can be seen outside the wall, at the end section of the Naksan Trail.

[ Gwanghuimun Gate ]� Gwanghuimun is located southeast of Seoul City Wall. Part of the gate was destroyed during the Japanese Colonial Period, and in the 1960’s, during a street expansion project, the remaining part was dismantled. Then, in 1975, the gate was rebuilt at the current location, some 15m south of its original position.

[ Heunginjimun ] < National Treasure No. 1> Heunginjimun is “East Gate” (Dongdaemun) of the wall. The current Heunginjimun was rebuilt in the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Gojong (1869). Regarding the topography of Seoul, the western part of the city is built on higher ground, while the eastern part is on low ground, so from a military perspective, Dongdaemun was the most vulnerable to attack. That is why the subsidiary wall were built outside Dongdaemun. In 1907, the walls on the right and left sides of the gate were demolished.

[ Dongdaemun Market ] Dongdaemun Market was originally opened in 1905 under the name of Gwangjang Market, as the first privately-run urban market in Korea. After the Korean War, the commercial zone of the market continued expanding eastward along Cheonggyecheon Stream. Nowadays, this large market zone has become a hub of the international apparel and fashion industry. Central Asia Town, located opposite the National Medical Center, is an immigrant community inhabited by people from Russia, Uzbekistan, and elsewhere. Many of the local store signs are written in Cyrillic letters.

[ Site of Ogansumun and Igansumun Floodgate ] <Historic Site

No. 461(Site of Ogansumun Floodgate)> Igansumun and site of Ogansumun Floodgates (2 or 5-arch floodgate) were located between Heunginjimun and Gwanghuimun. As the ground level of this area was the lowest in Seoul, runoff from the four inner mountains flowed down outside the wall through these floodgates. Igansumun, which was unearthed around the spectators’ seating in Dongdaemun Stadium, has been almost entirely preserved in its original form, but there are no remaining traces of Ogansumun.

[Dongdaemun History & Culture Park] The Dongdaemun History & Culture Park was built on a site previously occupied by a military camp and a gunpowder factory around the end of Joseon. In 1925, the Japanese built the modern Gyeongseong Stadium, which, after Korea’s liberation from Japan, was renamed Seoul Stadium. Then, after the 1988 Seoul Olympics (the 24th Olympic Games), it was modernized and renamed Dongdaemun Stadium. During the dismantling of the stadium in 2007, some parts of a section of the wall, a two-arched flood gate (to drain runoff from Namsan Mountain to outside the wall), battlements(projected part of the wall similar to fortress), and remains of old buildings were discovered at this site. The artifacts excavated from this site are on display at the Dongdaemun History Museum 1398 inside the Dongdaemun History & Culture Park.

Sindang-dong Catholic Church Jangchung Gymnasium (1 hour on foot)

Origin of Sindang-dong, a village outside Gwanghuimun Gwanghuimun was also known as Sigumun(“Gate of coffins”) because the bodies of the deceased were transported beyond the wall via this gate. Thus, people were reluctant to use the gate, although history tells of a king who did use it once. In 1636, during the invasion by the Manchus, King Injo escaped through here to Namhansanseong Fortress. The houses of shamans who gave comfort to the souls of the deceased were situated outside this gate, so the area was named Sindang(“Shaman House”)-ri. However, it was renamed Sindang(“New House”)-ri in 1894.

Another Story about Gwanghuimun


[ Jangchung-dong Residential Area ] The wall disappears altogether in the residential area around Janchung-dong next to Gwanghuimun. In 1930, when the Oriental Development Company (established by Imperial Japan) developed this area for housing, some parts of this section of the wall were damaged. Years later, during the 1960s and ’70s, the construction of houses damaged the wall further.

Sungnyemun Gate Trail

Namsan(Mongmyeoksan) Mountain Trail

This walking trail runs from the backstreets of Janchung Gymnasium to Namsan Park. In early Joseon, a national

shrine and beacon platform were built near and at the top of Namsan (Mongmyeoksan, 270m). As Namsan was the center of the

administrative district in Seoul, there is a stone marker inscribed with “the Central Point of Seoul” on the summit. In the 1920’s, most

the wall in the area were demolished to build the Joseon Shinto Shrine by the Japanese; but due to the preservation and restoration

projects conducted since the 1970s and the Namsan recovering project carried out in the mid-1990s, most of the wall sections around

Namsan have been restored to their original appearance.

Opening hours : Namsan – open 24/7 Sungnyemun - Open all year round (except Mondays), Opening hours: 09:00~18:00 Summer (June ~ Aug.) 09:00~18: 30 / Winter (Nov. ~ Feb.) 09:00~17:30

[ Namsangol Hanok Village ] Namsangol Hanok Village was opened as a park in 1998 after many of the hanok (traditional Korean houses) scattered around Seoul were dismantled and rebuilt in Namsangol. The park was established in 1989 by Seoul City Government after buying the site on which the headquarters of the military police was located in the Japanese Colonial Period, and where the Capital Defense Command building was situated after Korea’s liberation from Japan. The park, which was developed in a nature-friendly style, features a cluster of hanok built towards the end of Joseon, at the time of the enlightenment of Korea. In 1994, a time capsule was buried just south of the hanok to celebrate Seoul’s 600th anniversary as the capital of Korea; it will not be opened until 2394, the 1000th anniversary of Seoul’s designation as the capital.

[ Jangchungdanbi Monument ] <Tangible Cultural Property No.1>

Jangchungdanbi was built in 1990 to hold a memorial service for the soldiers who were killed during the Incident of the Year Eulmi(1895). The following year, it became a national memorial to all the people who sacrificed their lives for the country. However, in 1907, the Japanese abolished the memorial service at Jangchungdan, and after the March First Independence Movement(1919), the area was transformed into a park.

[ Seokhojeong Archery Range ] Seokhojeong, was established at the foot of Namsan beyond Janchungdan Park during the reign of King Injo of Joseon. However, it was destroyed during the Korean War and was not rebuilt until 1970. The name Seokhojeong was retained, marking the site of Korea’s oldest archery range.

[ Supyogyo Bridge ]�<Tangible Cultural Property No. 18> Supyogyo was originally built in 1420 under the name of Majeongyo. In 1441, when a water marker (supyo) was installed next to the bridge to measure the water level, it was renamed Supyogyo. In 1760, during the construction of the

stream, four characters (庚辰地平) were inscribed on the bridge to mark its position as the basic level for maintenance of a river bed. In 1959, during the work to cover Cheonggyecheon Stream, the bridge was reconstructed inside Jangchungdan Park.

Tip : Visitors are advised to check the event schedule of Namsangol Hanok Village, many interesting events are held there. Transportation : [Namsangol Hanok Village] Chungmuro Station Exit 4 1 minute on foot

[ Vestiges of the wall Built in King Taejo’s Reign ] Although the wall was first built over 600 years ago during the reign of King Taejo, most of the original sections have been preserved in their original form. In particular, the long section of wall built during the reign of king Taejo runs parallel to the wooden stairway, which itself runs along the eastern ridge of Namsan.

[ Central Point of Seoul ] Where is the central point of Seoul? The result of a GPS measurement confirmed that the geographical central point of Seoul is on the top of Namsan, where a stone marker bearing the inscription “Central Point of Seoul” was erected.

[ N Seoul Tower ] The N Seoul Tower is an observation tower located on the summit of Namsan. Rising 480m above sea level, the tower is inarguably Seoul’s most popular attraction, offering a 360° view of the city. The tower was originally built in 1969 for telecommunications and broadcasting, including television and radio, and has been open to the public since 1980. After extensive renovations in 2005, the Tower was reopened as a complex cultural space. Various stories about Seoul City Wall are displayed on the second floor of the Tower Observatory.

[ Site of Mongmyeoksan Beacon Mound ] <Monument No. 13> Site of Mongmyeoksan Beacon Mound was the final destination for beacon signals sent from the border areas during Joseon. In the daytime, smoke was used to transmit messages, while at night a signal fire was lit. This beacon platform was built in 1423 and survived intact for over 450 years until 1895. The current mound was restored in 1993.

[ Namsan Palgakjeong Pavillion and Site of Guksadang Shrine ] Namsan Palgakjeong was built at Site of Guksadang of Joseon. In 1925, when the Japanese built the Shinto Shrine, Guksadang was moved to the foot of Inwangsan Mountain. During the First Republic of South Korea, the pavilion, which was modeled on Palgakjeong in Tapgol Park at this site, was named “Unamjeong” after the pen-name of the then President Syngman Rhee, but it was renamed Palgakjeong after the April 19 Revolution.

[ Jamdubong Photo Island ] The western summit of Namsan called Jamdubong (“Silkworm Head Peak”) because of its shape. The observatory platform on Jamdubong commands a panoramic view of the city, which looks like a dense forest of buildings surrounded by the four inner mountains.

Opening Hours : N Seoul Tower Observatory - Monday~Friday / Sunday 10:00~23:00 | Saturday 10:00~24:00 ※The second floor(T2) of the N Seoul Tower Observatory displays various stories about the Seoul City Wall.

[ Remains of the wall at the foot of Hoehyeon, Namsan ] The area around the Patriot Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall on Namsan was damaged during the construction of the Shinto in 1925. In 2013, when the Seoul Metropolitan Government implemented a project for the preservation and maintenance of Seoul City Wall, parts of the base of the wall were unearthed in good condition in this area.

[ Why are there many statues of independence activists on Namsan? ] Many monuments to independence activists are positioned around Baekbeom Square on Namsan, where the Shinto was located during the Japanese Colonial Period. Thus, the dominant image of the area has been switched from a symbol of the Japanese occupation to one of the Korean Independence Movement.

[ Sungnyemun ] <National Treasure No. 1> Sungnyemun, also known as Namdaemun (South Gate), is the main gate of Seoul City Wall. Construction of the gate started in 1395 and ended in 1398, although it was rebuilt on two occasions in 1448 and 1479. Although the right and left sides of the wall were demolished in 1907, the gate itself remained as a cultural heritage. Sadly, in February 2008, the wooden structure on the second floor of the gate tower was burned down by fire, and was not fully restored until May 2013. In addition, an 83m-long section of wall connecting to both sides of Sungnyemun was restored at this time.

[ Site of Souimun Gate ] Souimun is located southwest of Seoul City Wall. It was originally built in 1396 as Sodeokmun, but was renamed Souimun in 1744. Funeral biers passed beyond the wall via this gate and Gwanghuimun. However, the gate was demolished in 1914, and only the stone marker with the name “Souimun” remains.

[ Namdaemun Market and Chilpae Market ] Namdaemun Market was opened in January 1897 as the first permanent urban market in Korea. The Sangpyeongchang (responsible for regulating prices) was originally located here during the early Joseon, and with the enforcement of the Law of Uniform Land Tax in the 17th century, the Tribute Bureau was established here. Then, in 1894, when the decision was made to collect tax payments in money, and there was no longer any need to store rice tributes, this area of the Seonhyecheong Warehouse was given over to merchants for use as a market place.

[ Chungdong First Methodist Church ] <Historic Site No. 256>

Chungdong Church was established by an American missionary named Henry Appenzeller. Built between 1895 and 1897, this gothic-style red-brick structure was Korea’s first Methodist church, and served as a channel for the introduction of American culture and civilization to Korea during the period of enlightenment.

[ Simpson Memorial Hall at Ewha Girls' High School ] <Registered

Cultural Property No. 3> The Simpson Memorial Hall, which was built in 1915, is currently used as the Ewha Museum. The Ewha Hakdang (original name of Ewha Girls' High School) was founded by American missionary Marry Scranton as Korea’s first educational establishment for girls or women. The school grounds house numerous monuments including the site of the well where Yu Gwansun (patriot killed in the March First Independence Movement in 1919) used to wash her clothes, a memorial stone for the “cradle of new education for Korean women,” the Yu Gwansun Statue, and a stone sign marking the site of the Sontak Hotel.

[ Former Russian Legation ] <Historic Site No. 253> Former Russian Legation is a Renaissance-style building constructed in the 27th year of the reign of Emperor Gojong (1890). Gojong took refuge there for one year from February 1896 following the assassination of Queen Myeongseong by Japanese soldiers (Incident of the Year Eulmi, 1895). During the Korean War, all of the building was destroyed, except for the tower. It was rebuilt in 1973, and two more restoration projects were conducted in 2007 and 2010.

Souimun, the gate of fear! During Joseon, public executions were carried out in the large yard located outside Souimun. The gate was also called “the gate of martyrs” by foreigners, as many Catholics were martyred outside this gate. The Martyr Memorial Tower in Seosomun History Park is a monument to them.

This walking course runs from Site of Donuimun to the Yun Dong-ju Hill, via Inwangsan (339m), which is situated to

the right of Seoul’s four inner mountains. Inwangsan is also known as a rocky mountain characterized by unusual rock formations

including Chimabawi(Rock of women’s skirt), Seonbawi(Rock of meditating monk), and Gichabawi(Rock of train). The name “Inwang” is

a Buddhist term, and it is said that a Korean Buddhist monk named Muhak (1327~1405) once declared that if Inwangsan ever became

one of the country’s principal mountains, Buddhism would flourish here. Access to the mountain was prohibited after a unit of the North

Korean Special Forces infiltrated Seoul on 21 January 1968, and it was not reopened to the public until 1993.

Opening hours : �24 hours (Closed every Monday; and on Tuesdays when a national holiday falls on the preceding Monday.) Notice : As Inwangsan has many rocky sections, visitors take extra care, especially in winter.

[ Hong Nanpa's House in Hongpa-dong ]<Registered as Cultural Property

No. 90> This house was inhabited by Nan Pa Hong Yeong-hu (1898~1941), the composer of such well-known songs as Bongseonhwa (a Balsam), and Hometown’s Spring. He composed most of his best-known pieces here. This Western-style building from the 1930s has been preserved well.

[ Gyeonggyojang House ] <Historic Site No. 465> Gyeonggyojang served as the office of the Korean provisional government from 1945 to 1946, and was also the home of Kim Gu, the head of the provisional government from 1945 to 1949, the year he was assassinated there. It later served as the residence of the ambassador of the Republic of China, the residence of the Vietnamese ambassador, and then as a hospital, among other functions. In March 2013, Gyeonggyojang was restored as the home of Kim Gu and opened to the public.

[Dilkusha (Tailor’s House)] Dilkusha (“Palace of Hope” in Hindi) is a western-style building built and inhabited from 1923-42 by Albert Taylor, a gold mine engineer and United Press International correspondent in Seoul. Located next to the house is a 450-year-old gingko tree, which is said to have been brought from the home of General Gwon Yul(1537-1599), the Joseon general who led the Korean forces to victory against Japan at the battle of Haengju Fortress(1592). The name of Haengchon-dong originated from this story.

[Hanok village (Sangchon or Udae), west of Gyeongbokgung Palace] Many urban-style hanok built during the Japanese Colonial Period have been preserved in this community between Inwangsan and Gyeongbokgung. The village, known as Sangchon or Udae in late Joseon, was home to many low-level officials because it was close to the palace and government offices. Towards the end of Joseon, the village found itself at the center of the Yeohang (i.e. classes below the elite) literature, as non-yangban(non-ruling caste) intellectuals organized their poetry club here. Since the modern period, prominent figures like poets Yi Sang and Yun Dong-ju, and the artists No Cheon-myeong, Yi Jung-seop, Cheon Gyeong-ja, and Lee Sang-beom, have lived and worked here.

[ Guksadang Shrine of Inwangsan and Seonbawi Rock ] <Important

Folklore Cultural Heritage No. 28> Guksadang was initially built at the summit of Namsan Mountain during the reign of King Taejo of Joseon, but was dismantled and restored at its present location on the western ridge of Inwangsan at the order of the Japanese Imperial government, which built the Shinto Shrine on the site. Seonbawi, above Guksadang, is said to resemble a monk absorbed in Zen meditation. There is a saying that Jeong DoJeon, an influential aristocrat and politician in early Joseon who was opposed to Buddhism, modified the boundary of Seoul City Wall in order to place this rock beyond the wall.

Guide Tip : The Sajik Daeje (National Rite to Gods of the Earth and Grains; Important Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 111) is held at Sajikdan Altar by the Corporate Mutual Association of the Jeonju Lee Clan on the third Sunday of every September.

[ Site of Donuimun Gate ] Donuimun, which is also called Seodaemun (West Gate), used to be located at this site. It was originally built during the reign of King Taejo of Joseon(1396), but it was closed in the 13th year of the reign of King Taejong(1413), and Seojeonmun was built for public access to the west of the wall. However, the exact original location of Seojeonmun is unknown. In the 4th year of the reign of King Sejong(1422), during construction work to reduce the size of certain sections of the wall, Seojeonmun was closed and Donuimun was newly built at the current location. Since then, Donuimun has also been called Saemun or Sinmun (New Gate), while the nearby street was named Sinmunno after the gate. However, in 1915, during the Japanese occupation, when the streetcar service passed via the gate, the gate was dismantled and its building materials sold off. Currently, a public art work titled “Invisible Gate” stands on the former Site of Donuimun.

[ Suseongdong Valley of Inwangsan ] <Monument No. 31> Suseongdong Valley on Inwangsan is the source of a tributary of Cheonggyecheon Stream. Because of the beautiful sound of water running between rocks, the valley was named Suseongdong. Suseongdong Valley was a center of literary activity in late Joseon: Jeong Seon (1676-1759), a famous painter of the period, painted the landscape of the valley and various poetry clubs, including the Songseogwon Poetry Society, organized by non-yangban writers, held regular meetings there. However, in 1971, during the construction of the Okin Sibeom Apartment, the local topography and landscape were seriously damaged, and it was not until 2010 that the Seoul Metropolitan Government demolished the apartment and restored the area virtually to its original appearance.

[ Park Nosu's House and Art Museum ] <Cultural Property Material No. 1>�This two-story brick house was built by Yoon Deok-yeong (1873-1940, an uncle-in-law of Emperor Sunjong) for his daughter in 1938. It was inhabited by the painter Park Nosu from 1972, and was transformed into the Jongno Park No-soo Art Museum in 2011, after being donated to Jongno-gu Office along with some 1,000 of Park’s paintings.

[ Yun Dong-ju Hill and Literary Museum ] This area was established as a park around Changuimun, near the western slopes of Inwangsan, to commemorate the literary spirit of Yun Dong-ju, a famous poet known for his lyric poetry and resistance poetry against Japan, as he lived near this hill during his time at Yeonhui Vocational School. A large stone inscribed with his most famous poem, Seosi, is located at the top of the hill, near the Yun Dong-ju Literary Museum.

[ Hongjimun Gate and Tangchundaeseong Fortress Wall ] <Tangible Cultural Property No. 33> Tangchundaeseong was built in 1719 to connect Seoul City Wall with Bukhansanseong Fortress. As such, this section of the wall runs from Inwangsan to below Bibong (peak) of Bukhansan Mountain in a straight line. Hongjimun, built in 1715, was connected to Tangchundaeseong. Ogansumun Floodgate was also installed next to the gate.

Opening Hours : Inwangsan Mountain – 24 hours open(Closed every Monday. If a national holiday falls on a Monday, it will be closed on the Tuesday.) Yun Dong-ju Literary Museum – Summer(March ~ Oct.) 10:00~18:00 / Winter(Nov. ~ Feb.) 10:00~17:00 (Closed every Monday, and during the Chuseok(Harvest Moon) and Seollal(Lunar New Year) holidays

Suseongdong was restored more or less to its original surroundings based on this painting. The Girin Bridge depicted in the painting is the only stone bridge to have been preserved in its initial form at its original location on the wall.

[ The Wall Section Showing Different Building Techniques ] On the Inwangsan trail is a place where it is possible to see the different techniques used in different periods to build the wall. The long section at the crossroads by Tangchundaeseong, passing via Chimabawi Rock from the top of Inwangsan, was built with various stone block types at different times, along with the street next to outside the wall.

The sections of the wall on the right and left-hand sides of Sungnyemun were preserved intact until the early 1900s. However, in the 1920s, these sections were all demolished.

Juncheon sisa yeolmudo depicts a ceremony to celebrate the completion of Cheonggyecheon dredging project, and was inserted in the Jungcheon gyecheop, a report on the dredging work carried out during the reign of King Yeongjo. In this painting, the battlements above the five-hole flood gates are well depicted.

Changuimun is part of the Album of the Eight Great Views of Baegaksan and Inwangsan by Jeong Seon. The painting depicts the gate as seen from inside the wall. Inwangsan is situated to the left of Changuimun, while Baegak is on its right. The wall extends from both sides of Changuimun along the ridge of the mountain.

Jeong Seon, a master of “true-view” landscape painting lived at the foot of Inwangsan, where Kyungbock High School is now located, and he produced many landscapes of the mountain. In his 1751work titled Inwangjesaekdo (the picturesque view of Inwangsan after the rain) , he depicted the section of Seoul City Wall running along the ridge of Inwangsan.
