Stating the tour

** Depending on your location, the tour route is subject to change.

This is the example that you are staying near the Hongik Univ Station

Move to Yeouinaru station (Line no. 5) from Hongik Univ station (Line no. 2)

Yeouinaru Han River Park (Mission 1, Ddareungi riding)

Yeouinaru Han River Park: Yeouido Hangang Park is located in Yeouido, the center of politics, finance, and media, and has good access to public transportation such as subways and buses, making it a favorite attraction for office workers and ordinary citizens, as well as various events such as spring flower festivals, world fireworks festivals, and marathon events. In addition, Bamseom Island and Yeouido Saetgang River are preserved as they are relatively natural, making them an ecological learning center and a nature-friendly park.

Ddareungi Bike: On March 1, 2020, Seoul’s bike sharing app Ddareungi implemented QR codes to simplify the rental process. The LCD machines were replaced with a QR code to make the process more convenient for its users. The current LCD bikes require a password upon borrowing and have to be locked in place to end the session.
To borrow a QR bike, users must first download the Ddareungi app and purchase a pass. Then, scan the QR code on the bike and the lock will open. Bikes can be returned at QR bike rental spots or the previous LCD bike rental spots.

Fortress Wall of Seoul, Naksan Part (Mission 4, Night view of Seoul)

Fortress Wall of Seoul, Naksan Part:Naksan Park, located in Jongo-gu, is a great place to see the Seoul City Wall and take in views of downtown Seoul. The park is famous for the beauty of its nighttime views and the city wall. The city wall that is along Naksan Mountain is divided by Hyehwamun Gate, Dongdaemun Gate, and Daehak-ro. For visitors that like to hike, they should take the Seoul City Wall trail from Hyehwamun to Dongdaemun or vice versa. If they prefer an easier route, they can begin the walk at Daehak-ro. Additionally, the park has been used as a filming location for many Hallyu dramas due to its beautiful scenary. Walk the old city wall and take in the beatiful twinkling lights of Seoul at Naksan Park.
