Hiking Challenge - Seoul City Wall (Hanyangdoseong)!
Details
Hello CIKers!
We will challenge ourselves with a 8 hour hike along the Hanyangdoseong (Seoul City Wall)! During our hike, we will see at least four of the fortress gates, hike up 4 peaks, and enjoy the views of downtown Seoul! Did you know that Hanyangdoseong was built, rebuilt, repaired and continuously maintained for more than half a millennium! You can see different construction materials used in each layer of the wall. These construction materials represent different periods of Koreas history. The Seoul Wall has been beautifully preserved and blends harmoniously with the terrain, making it an integral part Seoul!
