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.

Inwangsan is a mountain with a height of 338 m, located in Jongno-gu and Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, central areas of Seoul in Korea. The name literally means "mountain of generous king" in Korean. The mountain has many huge granite peaks which distinguish it from other mountains in Seoul. Each rock is named after its characteristic form, such as train rock (기차바위), skirt rock (치마바위), dew rock (이슬바위), hat rock (모자바위), and worm rock (지렁이바위). Inwangsan is famous for its view, so many painters depicted the mountain in their works such as Jeong seon's Inwang jesaekdo.
