and leads to Gaemi Maeul (Ant Village) and its murals amid the shadows of the imposing granite mountain Inwangsan.
· Descend toward Buam-dong or Hongje Yuyeon for a bite to eat after a hike.
· A small corner shop at the entrance to Gaemi Maeul is great for buying snacks and bottled water here for those who came unprepared.
· Restrooms are available between Gaemi Maeul and the entrance to Inwangsan Dulle-gil Trail. A water fountain and air guns for dusting off hiking gear can be found past a children's forest interactive center.
· Follow the Seoul City Wall down to Changuimun Gate from the forest and take the path to Suseong-dong Valley. This leads to Inwang Guard Post Forest Retreat, a fine place to read, sit, and rest.
Hongje Yuyeon is beneath Yujin Arcade, an eight-minute walk from Exit 1 of Hongje Station, Seoul Metro Line 3.
Hongje Yuyeon is a promenade accompanied by art, where “the stream and art connect, heal, and reunite people.” Hongjecheon Stream in the past was covered to make room for roads and development above, but the walkway beneath the bridge was restored through a public art project to offer leisure and artistic experiences.
Called "the village that lives diligently like ants," the village got its name from its diligent "ant-like" residents. The murals on the walls were part of a project launched by Seodaemun-gu Office in 2009, turning the village into a tourist attraction. This village is also the setting for the cinematic tearjerker "Miracle in Cell No. 7."
Gyeongbokgung Palace and the former presidential compound of Cheong Wa Dae are just a stone's throw from the summit of Inwangsan. From there, the mountains of Bugaksan, Ansan, and Namsan are a short distance away. Befitting Inwangsan's reputation as a rocky mountain, Satgatbawi Rock, which resembles the horsehair hat worn by a nobleman, is located at the summit.
