It's 2-lane road on Bugaksan Mountain. There's Bugak Palgakjeong on top. Good to spend some time and enjoy breathtaking view.
- No public transportation available. Most people visit by driving. So, this is almost like a hidden gem for locals, too. Walking to the top is not bad. About 30~40 min walk from Sukjeongmun Gate.
- Bugak Palgakjeong is a pavilion with telescopes, a cafe and a restaurant. There's a little supermarket and a good garden to walk around. Northern view of Bukhansan and Pyeongchang-dong is really nice. It's a great place to spend 1~2 hours.
- There are routes to hike Bugaksan Mountain. Kim Shin-Jo Route(route of North Korean terrorists) is easy and nice in the forest.

A very nice view of Seoul. We arrive in the late evening passing through the Blue House. It is very cold and therefore don’t go up there without your car!
I note that most of the lights in Seoul seems white colour. Hence, Seoul is like a silver city at night.

The view up there is simply breathtaking. especially at sunset and night. 100% worth a visit. But i highly suggest you to catch a taxi especially at night when you are heading down hill. Convenient stores and restaurants are also available.
I went up by bus and followed by around 45 minutes on steep road and hiking. As far as i remember, there is no lights AT ALL when hiking towards the Bugak Pavilion. So when i left the pavilion i decided to try another way down the hill.
But unfortunately It is about the same as i went up, not much lights and it really looks creepy and confusing. Finally i decided to walk down the hill alongside the road and it took more than 1 hour 30 minutes before i got back to where i start (Hansung University Station.
So catch a taxi unless you really enjoy night walking at the mountains

Is there taxi bus stop near the pavilion / top of Bugak skyway to go back to Seoul ? Since we will bring children and not possible to hike up or down 11 Km.
