- kengsoonpenang207 contributionsInteresting palace. Nice to spend half a day walking around the place. I suppose this is the main palace in Seoul. The compound was large. There was free tour guide explaining about the palace. There was also a audio self guide with much information but to hear all the comments may take a longer time.Written September 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bridget WTasmania, Australia147 contributionsIt's frantic and can be overwhelming, but worth a few visits.
During the day, the shops are a little easier to navigate, as the food vendors don't start up until later in the day. There are lots of similar things but in amongst it, a couple of vendors or shops doing their own thing, so it's worth looking through everything.
If you're looking for street food (which mostly is not representative of actual Korean food, but still fun and tasty) then this is the place.
There are heaps of places to buy Korean skin care and beauty products (Olive Young has many stored in the area, with the flagship store currently being renovated) (Olive Young does tax refunds on the spot for any purchases over 30,000 Won) as well as Nature Republic, Tony Moly, and heaps others, which sell the usual Korean face masks (containing snail secretions through to pearls from 200 to 5,000 Won each - cheaper to buy in premade packs of 10 or more). There are a lots of fashion and sports stores (Zara, Spao, Nike, 8Seconds, etc), cheap jewellery places (The Plain, RedEye, etc) markets (7-11, Korea Mart, etc to buy food, drinks, snacks), places to eat, there's a Daiso, a Mixue, a second hand clothes store (sells by the 100g) pretty much anything you need. There are even couple of ca cafes. And if you walk through to the Lotte store side, you can get to Lotte, Lotte Young Plaza, Avenuel via the substations, which themselves are underground malls.
Lots of fun to be had, although absolutely frantically busy as the street food markets start up. And the tourists are not looking where they are going as they're too busy taking photos.
The only word of warning is that there are very few bins (anywhere in Seoul but noticeable in Myeongdong as you usually have a takeaway plate of food) there are bins at the major entrance and exit points but the easiest thing to do if simply stand to the side near the vendor you bought the food from, eat it and ask the vendor to take the rubbish back - they will all do this with no problems. If you are intending on eating while you walk, take a small plastic bag with you and a pack of wet wipes so you can clean yourself up and contain your rubbish as you go.
I didn't find any public toilets in the Myeong streets are, but there are some in the underground malls joining Myeongdong to the Lotte stores.Written September 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were told to take the easier route to Daeseongmun Gate which is about 3 km and take about 3 hrs on a full trip back. Considering that my partner and I are quite fit, we thought it will be a piece of cake. But 45 minutes later, we found the route very challenging with steep slope laid with stones and the route became tougher with steep steps.
We took 1 hr 45 mins to reach Daeseongmun Gate. And another 1 hrs 35 mins to return to base. Total : 6 km. I must say that we were shagged and our legs muscles sore.
Being part of nature does not come easy. The efforts were worth it as the hike was very peaceful with plenty of fresh air and shades.
Do bring along your own bottle of water.Written September 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Andrea BPavia, Italy36 contributionsBeautiful architectural palace of Joseon dynasty.

- Moonrock1962Devonport, Australia957 contributionsGreat place for a good solid walk or a trail run. Heaps of climbing and lots of steps so be warned. The park sits between the city and the Namsan Tower and a walk to the tower through the park is perfect. Some fantastic views of the city and surrounds as you ascend and sunsets look great. You also walk next to parts of the Seoul City wall and good historic interpretation signage along the way. The vegetation is green and cool and lots of water features along the way. During the couple of weeks I was in Seoul I visited here a few times.Written July 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia17,537 contributionsWe spent an afternoon exploring the new and rich part of Seoul - Gangnam.
After walking a skyscraper forest through busy streets and high end department stores you enter this Buddhist temple which immediately calms you down and fills you with tranquility.
It's the main Korean Buddhist temple which was almost totally destroyed during the Korean war. The grounds are pretty big, set on three levels with the biggest marble Buddha in SK on top of the third level.Written May 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ManngaDuaSingapore, Singapore474 contributionsI took a walk from the bus terminal to see the scenary. It was not very far from there. Because it was Sunday morning, lots of people are cycling and having picnic. The park is well kept and clean. You can see the city over the river. It is pieceful as well.Written September 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
