There is always something interesting to do in Seoul. If you have grown tired of shopping, shopping, more shopping, or seeing the more touristy sites like royal palaces, etc. One thing new that you can most certainly try is to do a little bit of mountain-hopping in Seoul.
The vibrant and colourful city of Seoul is not only surrounded by towering concrete buildings but by majestic mountains as well. These mountains of Seoul have played a very important role in helping Seoul protect itself and its people from all forms of foreign invasions and even rebel forces that attempt to break Seoul’s barriers. And still up to this day, the overpowering mountains that overlook the bustling city serve an important military purpose that cannot be ignored.

In this modern age, when uprisings have already lessened and not as strong as before, the mountains of Seoul not only provide security. These mountains now serve as a getaway destination for the people of Seoul when they are yearning to reconnect with nature, breathe the freshest air, relax, get fit, bond with loved ones, go somewhere where they can break out from their hectic city life or take in some of the remarkable views of the urban landscape from high above.
