Seoul is a huge city, and the night view is just amazing. While walking along Hanyangdoseong fortress in Inwangsan mountain, you can have a spectacular night view including N tower, Lotter tower and almost of the whole city!

Instead of going to the lookout tower, let's see the tower from the mountain, and get some fresh air. At night the mountain is quiet. You'll avoid crowds and get relaxed with the nature.

After the hike, we will take a bus to Gyeonbokgung station.

What To Expect

Amazing night views with historical sites! We will hike in Inwangsan mountain and see historical sites, such as Sajik altar and Seoul city wall. The night views from the mountain are amazingly beautiful. Before the hike, we will visit Sajik Park which holds Sajikdan and Tangun shrine. King Taejo, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty, constructed Jongmyo shrine and Sajikdan respectively east and west of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Services for the gods of Earth and Crops were performed there. Tangun shrine enshrines Tangun, the legendary founder of Korea. The trail in Inwangsan is easy and enjoyable. We will walk along Hanyangdoseong fortress (Seoul city wall) during the hike. It was also built in the Joseon dynasty to protect the city from foreign enemies. It takes less than one hour to get to the peak. You will have peaceful moments watching the city. I was born and raised in Seoul. I think this is the best night city views. These are just fantastic! After the hike, we will take a bus to the city (The bus fee is not included in the tour) Please check out our Instagram for more info! :) @honeytrailkorea

Good! Super fit Lee led us up Inwangsan, worked a bit of our cardio. Atop, we soaked in heart-calming views. Some historical nuggets: Sajik Alter, Dangun Shrine. What rocked for me was a library nestled in the foliage - wouldn’t have come across it without Ms Lee. Rained but we were aligned in our easygoingness. We ducked into a shop for croissant/ latte and Namdo Buksik for -Spicy rice cake (Ddeokbokki), Flat dumplings (Napjak Mandu), Fried vegetables (Yachae Tuigim), Blood sausage (Sundae) - yea! We even like the same food. Shopping at Tongin market. Thks Lee for Honey cookies (Yakgwa)! - Su-Yin/Jiunn
So much more than just a great climb!

Thank you again. It was perfect weather. A great day, where I learned more about Korean culture and history, experienced a challenging but not difficult hike with a great guide, saw a 360 degree view of Seoul, discovered a vey unique, glassed-walled library in the woods, shared a Korean meal with a new friend, and discovered the best bakery in Seoul!

The effort is worth it, the view from the top is beautiful. Lee is very professional, attentive to the participants, she knows the way very well. The evening hike ended with a flashlight, a memorable experience! Lee ordered for us a meal at the end of the hike and sent us pictures. I recommend to travelers to Seoul.
Highly recommended to go on this hike. Easily achievable.

It was our pleasure to meet up with Honey who brought us around on this hike. This is perfect with my tween who is 10yo and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended for those who love culture/nature and hiking.

This was my first hike with Lee and it was another amazing journey. She was very open and always encouraging during the accent. This was by no means a hard climb, but it was helpful to have someone who would cheer you up! The path itself is clear and easy to step with some steps closer to the top. Whether you're an experienced hiker or a beginner, this tour offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with nature, learn, and create lasting memories. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an immersive outdoor adventure.
An Awesome Experience!

It was a beautiful and well-oeganized trail that passes through many unique and important heritage sites as well as mountain trails. I especially loved the explanation about each place with rich history and the peaceful forest library/resting wooden structure was a hidden gem in the middle of the busy metropolitan. Very relaxed and friendly vibe, I can recommend to anyone who wants to have unique experience of nature and culture in Seoul.
Great hike, tour guide and cafe at the end.

Such a rewarding and fun hike, Lee was full of information about the history of the area (some very entertaining!). I have already been on one of Lee’s hikes and decided to do another as it was so enjoyable and a great way to meet people as I was travelling alone (I am still in touch with two of my hiking companions, we had such a fun morning). There are some stairs but the whole route is well paved, we took lots of breaks to enjoy the views and a get out breathe back! At the end Lee took us to a great cafe (croissants pictured!) where we all stayed a bit longer chatting and sharing photos from the hike. Really recommend this trip to anyone who loves hiking, great views and learning about Seoul.
Another amazing experience by Honey Trail!

This was my second hike with Lee and it was another amazing journey. She was, as always, very kind and helpful with lots of knowledge about the history of the wall. This gave a new perspective about how history rich Korea is. The experience was easy and beginner friendly with almost no rocky paths. Lots of stairs but the climb but the amazing view is worth the effort. At the peak we played a very fun korean board game! I highly recommend this experience :)
Unforgettable Experience!

Lee is an amazing tour guide! We did this hike 3 different times during different seasons. She knows the best scenic route up to the top where there are breathtaking views. Lee is not only warm and friendly but incredibly patient with me. We did the hike at the pace I was comfortable with and she was encouraging. She was also able to share interesting stories about the mountains and Korean history. I always had a lot of fun on her hikes and it was awesome being able to meet other people on her tours. I highly recommend this experience!
