The streets of Seoul that you want to walk and walk again
This book introduces 52 walking trails in Seoul and the metropolitan area, divided into four themes: 'Cultural Heritage Trails,' 'Forest Trails,' 'Water Trails,' and 'Light Hiking Trails.'
These paths can be easily walked in as little as one hour or as long as three hours, and they are close enough to us that we can leave with a light heart whenever we want.
The Seoul Hanyangdoseong trail that witnessed the glory and frustration of 600 years of the Joseon Dynasty in detail; the Namsan Dulle-gil trail that turns into a palace of flowers with splendid cherry blossoms in the spring; the forest path of Taereung and Bulamsan Mountain in Gangneung that opens only twice a year for about three months in spring and fall; Soakru in Gungsan Mountain in Gangseo-gu where Gyeomjae Jeong Seon stayed and captured the magnificent scenery of the Han River in his paintings; 'Seoullo 7017' selected by Time magazine as one of the '100 World's Must-Visit Places in 2018'; Oido Island in Siheung-si that presents the best sunset when you want to see the sun sinking into the sea - with this one book, you can go on a special walking trip every weekend.


Detailed guidance, useful information, and rich stories
This book meticulously includes the total travel time and distance, directions for each section, the difficulty of the route, a map showing the entire route from start to finish, and even public transportation information.
Not only do we introduce historical facts about the places we visit, but we also introduce interesting myths and legends that have been passed down, adding life to our walking tours.
Seoul and its surrounding areas, places I had vaguely thought I knew and passed by, are now appearing to me in a new light.
"A Happy Walking Journey That Makes You Look Forward to the Weekend" will rediscover Seoul and help travel become part of everyday life, offering a little respite to busy city dwellers.
