※ The actual region of the content is selected. The neighborhood of Buam-dong, home to Seoul Museum, is full of art galleries and
other artsy sights. Touring the neighborhood’s craft shops, eateries, and cafés is every bit
as enjoyable as a hike up the mountains. Also here are the Yoon Dong-ju Literature Museum and a hill named after the poet.
The path splits at Buam-dong Community Service Center. Follow the alley between the laundromat and convenience store. At the road sign, take the left path up to the summit and be careful not to slip while climbing the substantial incline.

Seoul Museum was founded as part of broad support for creating an arts and culture environment in Korea and the world where the traditional and contemporary coexist. The facility is committed to passing on and preserving traditional Korean culture. Seokpajeong, the vacation home of Prince Regent Heungseon Daewongun, was acquired by the museum and sits behind it.
This park marking the poet’s literary spirit is on the western tip of Inwangsan Mountain. While attending Yonhi College (now Yonsei University), Yoon frequently strolled the neighborhood in search of poetic inspiration. A large monument inscribed with his immortal poem “Seosi” (Foreword) stands atop the hill.
Poet Yoon Dong-ju lived in a boarding house in the neighborhood, writing from time to time. The defunct Cheongun Pumping Station was remodeled into a literary museum in his honor. The museum hosts an annual literary festival, exhibitions, and interactive learning programs.
