Seoul Mt. Ansan Trail Hike - Meet at Seodaemun Station, Cheongun Literature Library, Pajeon and Makgeolli

Start at Seodaemun Station and walk the
Mt. Ansan trail and Seoul fortress wall in one day

Meet your guide at Seodaemun Station for a hiking tour of about 9 hours: the Mt. Ansan trail in the morning, then the Seoul fortress wall, Chosoh Book Cafe, and Cheongun Literature Library in the afternoon. The tour is guided in English and ends at a local restaurant with Korean pajeon and a cup of makgeolli.

Walk barefoot and visit a waterfall on the Mt. Ansan trail

In the morning, you hike lightly along the Mt. Ansan trail. You walk barefoot on a red clay path, stop at a historic beacon mound, and continue along a metasequoia path to Hongje Waterfall.

After taking in the scenery and photos, you have a light lunch nearby. A local bus then takes you to Dongnimmun Gate, where the morning part ends.

Follow the Seoul fortress wall to Chosoh Book Cafe

The afternoon starts at a popular photo spot near the 7-Eleven Jongno Sajik branch, then follows the Seoul fortress wall. Stop at Chosoh Book Cafe, a bookstore cafe on the hillside, for coffee or the view.

Visit Cheongun Literature Library and finish with pajeon and makgeolli

Continue to Cheongun Literature Library, a quiet hanok space surrounded by nature. It looks like a traditional hanok but is a real library used by local residents, and a waterfall nearby makes it a good photo spot.

The tour ends at a local restaurant with Korean pajeon (savory pancake) and a cup of makgeolli.

※ It is recommended to use the restroom before you start hiking.
※ The schedule may change depending on the weather and local conditions.
