It is said that Korean novelist Yoon Hu-myeong also appreciated the structure of the guesthouse, saying, “It is an interesting place.” Built in the 1930s, the house, which has many storage places, was taken by the owner couple in spring 2014 as they were attracted by the house during their trip to Seochon.

Parque Nacional del Monte Bukhansan en Seúl (북한산국립공원(서울))

5.4 Km 67065 2023-10-26

Bogukmun-ro 262, Seongbuk-gu, Seúl

El monte Bukhansan, situado en el sector norte de Seúl, es hermoso a lo largo de todo el año. Designado Parque Nacional en 1983, el monte en su conjunto mide 78,45 km de ancho cubriendo 6 distritos y la parte de la provincia de Gyeonggi-do. El nombre Bukhansan significa “montaña grande del norte” y también solía ser llamado monte Samgaksan.

Tiene curvas tan suaves que sus sobresalientes y elevadas rocas de granito parece que fueran a deslizarse en cualquier momento, y sus afilados picos contrastan con las docenas de valles y ríos que fluyen debajo. Su pico principal es Baegunbong y junto a este se elevan numerosos picos de diferentes tipos. Los picos de granito combinan bien con los árboles, y dentro de las extensiones de la montaña viven unas 1.300 clases de animales y plantas.

De entre los picos de granito, se destaca la Roca Giam de Insubong (810,5 m). Este pico de piedra granito, famoso en todo el mundo, se eleva 200 por sobre el nivel del mar y existe un centenar de senderos que conducen a él. Cuando llegue al punto panorámico Baegundae (835,6 m) mire hacia abajo, según el estado del tiempo, podrá ver las nubes, la ciudad de Seúl y el río Hangang, todo junto y en visión panorámica.

El monte Bukhansan tiene una larga historia y no carece de tesoros culturales. Comenzando con el pilar Sunsubi sobre el pico Bibong que conmemora al rey Jinheung, pasando por la Fortaleza Bukhansanseong, edificada siguiendo las crestas de sus sierras, y el templo Sangunsa construido por el monje Wonhyo, además de numerosos otros templos menores.

La fortaleza Bukhansanseong es, asimismo, una destino obligado para los que visitan la montaña por primera vez. Esta Fortaleza consistió en una muralla de aproximadamente 8.500 m de longitud, levantada específicamente para detener invasiones extranjeras, y es uno de los fuertes de montaña más representativos de la era Joseon. En otoño, es especialmente exquisita la vista que se puede obtener de la montaña desde esta fortaleza. Los templos son también herencias culturales representativos del monte Bukhansan, y entre ellos se destacan el templo Seunggasa, erigido sobre el lado oriental del pico Bibong, donde las figuras de Seokgayeorae Maaebul se hallan grabadas en una roca de granito de 5 m de altura, y el templo Munsusa, ubicado a medio camino de ascenso al pico Munsubong, que tiene agua de montaña que cae del techo de la cueva Munsugul.

Bukhansan, con sus rocas de granito, y la Fortaleza Bukhansanseong, tiene las cualidades perfectas para practicar montañismo en todas las estaciones del año. En primavera, florecen toda clase de flores y en verano, tupidos bosques y valles se extienden por doquier. Los senderos de ascenso que hay a lo largo de los valles pueden llegar quizá a ser el mejor de los cursos de montañismo para el verano. El otoño es especialmente la estación adecuada para visitar los templos y sus pabellones sumidos en los colores otoñales. En invierno, la escena de las sierras cubiertas de nieve es verdaderamente maravillosa. El Parque Nacional del Monte Bukhansan tiene numerosas atracciones montañosas y bellísimos paisajes, y se ubica suficientemente cerca de la ciudad como para llegar fácilmente. El promedio de visitantes anuales es de cinco millones por lo que ha merecido el honor de ser registrado en el Libro de los Guinness de Récords Mundiales como el parque nacional de mayor número de visitantes por pie cuadrado. Los fines de semana son particularmente concurridos.

Darakjeong (다락정)

131-1, Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
+82-2-725-1697

Darakjeong has been popular for a long time because of the simple taste of its traditional Mandu (Korean stuffed dumpling). Since its opening in 1991, tasty soup and scrumptious Mandu have been served. A fist-sized Mandu is fully packed with seasoned meat, bean-curd, and various vegetables. Its thick dough makes it chewy and delightful. For one person, “Manduguk”(boiled dumpling soup) is a good choice. The delicious and nourishing taste of Mandu goes well with the sweet, spicy, and fresh taste of the soup. Manduguk is served in a brass bowl which keeps the food warm while eating. For a large-size group, “Mandujeongol” cooked with various vegetables in a casserole is recommended. There are two types of Mandujeongol that have different tastes. The main characteristic of “Kimchi Mandujeongol” is its spicy flavor, which reminds people of the refreshing taste of Kimchi soup, and “Tojang Mandujeongol” expounds on the savory taste of bean-paste soup. Tojang means folk soybean-paste. “Nokdujeon”(a Korean pan-fried dish with green mung bean) is another famous dish at Darakjeong, which is pan-fried with a very light seasoning to emphasize the original taste of Nokdu (green mung bean). Salted oysters with hot pepper are served with Nokdujeon instead of soy sauce, which is a perfect match.

Nunnamujip (눈나무집)

5.4 Km 12550 2020-06-16

136-1, Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
+82-2-739-6742

Nunnamujip is famous for a North Korean dish called, “Kimchi mari guksu”, which is a noodle dish in cold kimchi soup containing toasted laver, a boiled egg, and sesame. The soup is refreshingly cold and a little spicy. For “Kimchi mari bap”, a bowl of rice is put into cold kimchi soup instead of noodles. The taste is very unique. In addition to Kimchimari, “Tteokgalbi” is a popular dish on the menu as well.

The main restaurant is located in the basement, which has only limited seating capacity with a few tables. As a result, many people usually wait in line for lunch or dinner. A second franchise has opened in a three-story building across the street. To enjoy a quaint atmosphere, the first establishment is better, but the new one’s interior design is much more modern and fancier, giving it a fresh altering look.
