Breathtaking view with history
#gohiking
This is Namhansanseong fortress located in Gyeonggi province, South Korea. It is only around an hour away from from Seoul. You can take the bus half way up and continue the hike from there. The air was fresh, the view was fantastic and it just makes your soul feel refreshed. There are also a few cafes there to chill at. This is the perfect city escape in South Korea 👍🏼
Namhananseong Fortess
#celebratewithtrip #suwon #korea 25 kilometers southeast of Seoul, South Korea, is the medieval mountain fortress city of Namhansanseong. It is positioned with the mountain's ridges for maximum defense, rising 480 meters above sea level. The stronghold, which is 12 km long, guards a sizable region that served as Korea's temporary capital city during the Joseon Dynasty. Namhansanseong illustrates how the many defense mechanisms theories in Korea were developed by fusing the context of daily life with defensive goals. In Korea, the fortress came to represent governmental authority.
Cafe Soom at Namhansanseong.
On the way up to Namhansanseong from Gwangju City, if you take the mountain path just before the direct sales market for agricultural products, you'll find Cafe Soom sitting picturesquely in the Ojeon-ri Dunjeon village.
A cafe named 'Soom' (Breath) in such a place? Surrounded by nothing but rice paddies and fields, I wondered why there were so many people at this seemingly unremarkable cafe.
But as I sat there, sipping on a cup of coffee and spacing out, a sense of peace found its way into my heart. The bakery's flavors are also delightful.
Where does this warm and cozy feeling come from? It's 'Soom'. I forgot the fact that I had to go home and ended up sitting there until late into the night.

hanam aquafield Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Jimjilbang experience near Seoul 汗蒸幕 찜질방
I visited the Aquafield in Hanam City, near Seoul, it can be reached by seoul metro line 5, its a large beautiful place to experience Jimjilbang. It is separated into two sections, one is like onsen in Japan, separated by gender, where you have to go nude and enjoy yourself in hot water, you can also pay extra to hire an uncle to clean your body by rubbing your whole body with a towel. The other section is like sauna, but less humid, where you can stay in a room with high temperature that claims to be beneficial to your body in certain ways. Its really comfortable.
It also consists of a canteen where you can try Korean food, the must try traditional drink 식해.
Highly recommended! I stayed there for 5 hours last time.

Getting There - Seoul metro line 5, just walk after metro no need for bus, don’t believe google map its just a 5mins walk
