Walk through Seoul after dark on this 3-hour night walking tour and discover 600 years of the city's history in the Dongdaemun area. Starting from DDP, you'll pass Cheonggyecheon Stream, Pyeonghwa Market and Heunginjimun Gate, then climb along the Seoul City Wall (Hanyangdoseong) to the hillside neighborhoods toward Naksan. Your guide shares old photos and visual materials while telling the stories of a city shaped by war, industrialization and redevelopment, and of the people who lived through it. The tour runs in a small group of up to 8 people, with a break on the hilltop to enjoy panoramic night views.

Start at DDP and
trace the transformation of Dongdaemun

Meet your guide at the DDP Tourist Information Center in front of Exit 1 of Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station. Spend about 25 minutes around DDP, where modern architecture sits on traces of old Seoul, and learn how Dongdaemun changed through war, industrialization and redevelopment.

Hear the story of Korea's growth
at Cheonggyecheon and Pyeonghwa Market

Walk along Cheonggyecheon Stream around Pyeonghwa Market for about 25 minutes. Your guide explains how the garment industry contributed to Korea's rapid growth, and how its harsh working conditions eventually led to major social change in Korea.

Walk along Hanyangdoseong from Heunginjimun

At Heunginjimun Gate, go even further back in time and walk uphill along the old Seoul City Wall toward Naksan for about an hour. Along the way, compare old photos with today's streets and skyline to see how dramatically this area has changed.

Take a break in Ihwa-dong
and enjoy Seoul's night views

Take a break of about 45 minutes in Ihwa-dong for a drink and city views, then continue exploring the hillside neighborhoods. Rather than simply moving from landmark to landmark, this tour connects each place into one story about how Seoul has been constantly rebuilt and how ordinary people shaped the city.
