Key takeaways
Visitors headed to the 4.19 National Cemetery and hikers headed toward Mt. Bukhan and Mt. Dobong pass through the same subway station and the same alleys. These two flows of people have entirely different purposes, but physically overlap, giving this neighborhood its distinctive atmosphere.
What to look for on site
- Visitors dressed for a solemn visit walking alongside visitors dressed for a hike
- The quiet shops near the cemetery
- Signage pointing the way to the trailhead
Visitor tip
If paying respects is your goal, choose a weekday over an early weekend morning, when hikers tend to crowd the area.
