남산골 Namsangol

 

After watching Taekwondo at the Namsangol Hanok Village , i inevitably went to the Namsan Cirular Trail again, and then visited the nearby Namsangol Night Market in the evening.

Regarding the Taekwondo performance, i preferred those held in indoor (due to winter) that i watched few years ago.  It is a must-go event in Korea as it is really spectacular. The performers are generally young, i think they started practising Taekwondo since they were a kid.

For the brief hike this time, i started at the Namsangol, exit 7, and headed east which was opposite to what i walked before.  After passing the Seokhojeong 석호정(where traditional archery 전통 활쏘기 could be tried),  that means I completed the Northern Circular Trail (plus where i covered last time).   When i started heading to the Southern Circular Trail where bus and bicycle are allowed, i could not resist the temptation to take the bus up to the N Seoul Tower, in order to avoid the crowd, i walked downhills to the Baekbum Square 백범광장 and the Seoul Old City Wall.

At the evening, i went back to the Namsangol to visit the Traditional show and the Night Market.  I preferred this night market to the Dokkaebi Night Market at Cheonggyecheon청계천 and Yeouido 여의도.
