What to do and see in Pil-dong, South Korea: The Best Sights & Landmarks

October 14, 2021 Velvet Champine

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

N Seoul Tower

Built on a 262 meter peak in Namsan Park, the tower reaches to 480 meters above sea level. When the weather and pollution levels cooperate, visiting the observation tower (370 meters above sea level) allows you to view the entire city and surrounding areas.

I did not mind spending the money for the cable car ride or the ticket to the top. They view was absolutely worth the cost. The coffee shop at the top had *amazing* desserts, there were stools/tables to snack at, the 360 degree view was amazing, the elevators moving quickly, and the bathroom had quite the view.. seriously!

Namsangol Hanok Village

Reviewed By Krubee - Singapore, Singapore

If you want a good view of North Seoul Tower and its surrounding Namsan Mountains plus a beautiful garden right at the heart of Seoul then look no further than booking your nearest hotel in Namsangol Hanok Village which is near the Exit 4 and 7 of Chungmuro Station. By exit 4 turn left then right and you would see the entrance gate to this park. It was an accident that we didn't know the hotel we booked (Oriens - separate review) is nearby. Just 10 mins walk and whola were at the entrance. It is free for public and before the park there are many cafes', food carts and restaurants around it. Built in 1998 on the north side of Namsan Tower, the village has 5 restored Korean houses, gardens, pavilion, small streams, activity center, museum and small popup stores. Hanok means restored and its location is the original site for Jeonghakdong, a summer resort during the Joseon dynasty. The exhibit hall displays their traditional kitchen, clay pots, utensils, tea rooms, etc... There are toilets and this place is accessible by PWD. If you walk further south there is a hiking trail leading to N Seoul Tower and shuttle bus that can take you there directly. Parking is also available. When we visited there was a playground and activities set for the families and their kids. It was indeed a delightful surprise and experience for us to visit this park just right beside our hotel - one of the most scenic, romantic and beautiful attraction in Seoul. A quiet calming stroll here will take you breath away with its wonderful view and amazing attractions. Do come visit it guaranteed!!!
