Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This park was located beside Dongdaemun and along city wall. The road along city wall was very good and well managed. The view of top of park was very good and could see Seoul's landscape. There had small square, cafe and some health machine, so very good park to resident. Well managed park.

Great view, especially at night. The way to the top is a bit exhausting but fun if you're there with friends. On the way up you can have a good chat and simply switch off from everyday life and feel the fresh air. There are also some corners with a break where you can enjoy the view even better and, if you're lucky, see and pet cats

If you're looking for a moderate hike along a part of the old wall of the city, then I highly recommend this. The views are pretty amazing. You can see the mountains, skyline, including the N Seoul Tower. We didn't hike the entire section. If you're taking the metro here, get off at the Dongdaemun station and take exit 10. Cross the street and start your hike. Walk along the wall until you get to the main park on your left. From there, you can gradually walk down the path and stairs. You'll find a convenience store and bathrooms. Make your way down and you'll find yourself in an artsy neighborhood of galleries, restaurants and cafes. Once you get yourself to Daehak-ro, you'll see the Line 4 Hyehwa station.

We were there mid September and the temperature was around 25°C but the wind was cooling. We started our walk from the Seoul City Wall Museum, which is minutes walk from Dongdaemun Station, Exit 9. From there, we walked along a section of the remaining city walls. There are steps along the walls, though some parts have uneven steps.
After about 20 minutes into the walk, we reached Ihwa Mural Village where we 'pit stop' to walk around the village to enjoy the numerous murals and arts scattered in the village.
From there we continued our walk towards Naksan Park. It was a pleasant walk and from the crowd mix, it can be seen that this park is one of the favourites among locals to enjoy the sunset. We reached the peak just in time for sunset and stayed until the sun has set, when the lights on buildings began to light up this beautiful city.
We descended the hill by walking along the city walls and reached our starting point, near Dongdaemun Station, Exit 9.
Overall, it was a nice and pleasant walk. Would recommend visiting the park for the sunset at the peak.

City walls in Joseon Dynasty still remain partially in Seoul. And this park is locating inside the remaining walls.
- Locating on a hill, seniors may have difficulties. But, it's worthy of visiting with a great cityscape of Seoul and walls.
- Accessible from Daehakro(Hyehwa Station) and Dongdaemun CIty Wall Park (Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station).
- There's Ihwa Mural Village nearby and it's good to visit together.

The walk up to Naksan Park from the subway station might be a tad challenging, however the walk is a short one. We were able to see a good stretch of Seoul City Wall and part of Seoul from Naksan Park.

Naksan Park - In Korean ‘nakta’ means camel and ‘san’ means mountain and therefore its camel hump-like appearance. Reaching the park requires a moderate hike uphill from Hyehwa Station in Daehangno for about 450 meters. Located in the center of the Seoul, this historical and beautiful park has panoramic views of the entire city. A portion of the old Seoul Fortress Wall runs (Seoul Seonggwak) built during the Joseon Dynasty for protection against invaders and enemies runs through the park. The serene ambience is a perfect gateway from the city bustle. Its scenic beauty makes it a popular filming location for many Hallyu dramas. Take in the sunset views or stay till evening for twinkling lights of Seoul at Naksan Park. If you head to the eastern side (as you look at the mountain) follow the wall downwards to reach the top of Ihwa Mural Village. Alternatively, hike the downhill stretch to Dongdaemun Gate. If you're deadbeat after the walk, just take bus no. 3 at the top of the park to get off at Dongdaemun station.
Directions: Take Subway Line 4 to Hyehwa (Exit 2). Walk 70 meters and make the first left where there is the sculpture for Marronnier Park. Continue on Daehak-ro 8ga-gil for 180 meters until it dead ends and make a right. Continue for 50 meters and make at the second left on to Guldari-gil. Continue uphill for 200 meters to reach the park on the left.

Spectacular way to see the city and surrounding mountains. Hope for a clear day, but it is so ideally located near the palaces, major shopping/tourist areas, close to the subway lines and the really incredible Old City Wall - which you can walk for many kms! Take your time or get some good exercise, but the walk is a little steep, but well worth it. Enjoy this special place in the city!

From Hyehwa Station, I first visited the nearby Marronnier Park before arriving at Naksan park and then continue my way to Ihwa mural village. Reaching the park requires a moderate hike uphill for about 450 meters. It was hot & sunny as I was there around noon. There were only a few locals using the park.
The park features multiple facilities an exhibition hall, a pavilion, a center for seniors, basketball courts, badminton courts, and many squares that offer wonderful views of the area below. A portion of the old fortress wall runs through the park. From Naksan Park, visitors can walk along the Seoul City Wall to Dongdaemun.
