Directions

Samcheong Park sits at the northern edge of Bukchon, offering a quiet forested hillside that transitions seamlessly from the historic hanok streetscape below into Bugaksan mountain trails above. The park is a genuine local escape used by Jongno residents for morning walks and is far less visited than the hanok village itself. The trail up to the Bugaksan fortress wall section offers dramatic views over the old city and Gyeongbokgung Palace.
