Walking the Ancient Seoul City Wall: Naksan Fortress Trail Guide

Experience the ultimate blend of ancient history and breathtaking cityscapes on the Naksan Fortress Wall Trail in Seoul, South Korea! In this video, we take a scenic stroll along a beautifully preserved section of the Hanyangdoseong (Seoul City Wall). Following the ridge of Mount Naksan—affectionately known as "Camel Mountain" due to its distinct humped shape—this trail offers some of the most panoramic, unobstructed views of downtown Seoul, the N Seoul Tower, and the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). Whether you are looking for a peaceful daytime walk, a romantic sunset viewpoint, or a peek at the illuminated ancient fortifications glowing against the modern city lights at night, the Naksan trail is an absolute must-visit. Along the way, we take short stops and turn around to admire the scenery as we elevate higher above the city until we arrive at the cozy mountainside Cafe Gae Bbul.
