Moon Village • Ihwa Mural Village

Mt.Naksan in Seoul is home to one of the most popular mountainside mural villages in Korea. Ihwa Mural Village is known as a moon village or “daldongne” due to being set on the hillside which means you should be prepared for a bit of a hike up to see this famous village and the views of the surrounding Seoul from this village. There are many stairs and steep slope so do visit with a comfortable pair of shoes! There are some great murals in the area and art installations and it does make for a lovely place to walk around to get views of the city below. Guidelines to consider while in a mural village: • Remember this is a residential living neighbourhood and be respectful of the property • Do not walk into doorways or gates unless there is an explicit sign directing you to do so. • Considering it’s a living neighbourhood, treat it like yours. Do not yell or scream or make noise above normal conversation level. • Do not throw trash onto the ground. If you can’t find a trash bin, keep the trash until you do so. Getting There - Hyehwa Station (line 4,exit2) walk straight and you will see an information centre ahead for the detailed map and mural paintings at the various location of the village. #seoul #holiday #picturesqueview #instagrammable
