※ The actual region of the content is selected. This classic trail features the notable boulders and rock formations of Inwangsan Mountain,
a giant mass of granite. Witness the wonder of the boulders Seonbawi, Beombawi,
Haegolbawi, and Satgatbawi as well as breathtaking panoramic views of the heart of Seoul on this hour-long one-way journey.
· Beombawi Rock is more popular than the summit as a spot to see the sunrise and sunset. The path from this rock formation to the summit is narrow so proceed with caution.
· Follow the trail past Seonbawi Rock onto other boulders like Haegolbawi Rock and Mojabawi Rock. The climb up to Inwangsa Temple is arduous but the main trail is a less-demanding walk through nature.
The mountain has no restrooms after the ones next to Inwangsa Temple. Beombawi and the old Seoul fortress walls make a great place to sit and rest.
Walk toward Muak-dong Community Center from Exit 2 of Dongnimmun Station, Seoul Metro Line 3.
This commemorative gate was built by the Independence Club between 1896 and 1897 to proclaim the country’s autonomy and independence. Pioneering reformer and independence fighter Soh Jaipil devised the plans based on photos of the Arc of Triomphe in Paris in a project funded by public donations.
This rock formation sits on the west edge of Inwangsan Mountain. Ladies seeking to bear children often prayed for blessings here. The boulder is said to resemble a robed monk in deep prayer, hence the name seon (zen).
Beom is a Korean word meaning “tiger.” and the tiger crouching in this boulder is easy to see. Legend says a tiger who lost his mate smashed his own head in and died in sorrow here. The howling of the winds over the rock are said to be the cries of the beast in distress.
