In Korean ‘nakta’ means camel and ‘san’ means mountain and therefore its camel hump-like appearance. Reaching the park requires a moderate hike uphill from Hyehwa Station in Daehangno for about 450 meters. Located in the center of the Seoul, this historical and beautiful park has panoramic views of the entire city. A portion of the old Seoul Fortress Wall runs (Seoul Seonggwak) built during the Joseon Dynasty for protection against invaders and enemies runs through the park. The serene ambience is a perfect gateway from the city bustle. Its scenic beauty makes it a popular filming location for many Hallyu dramas. Take in the sunset views or stay till evening for twinkling lights of Seoul at Naksan Park. If you head to the eastern side (as you look at the mountain) follow the wall downwards to reach the top of Ihwa Mural Village. Alternatively, hike the downhill stretch to Dongdaemun Gate. If you're deadbeat after the walk, just take bus no. 3 at the top of the park to get off at Dongdaemun station.
