🍂 Seoul City Wall in Autumn 🏰🍁

We visited #hanyangdoseong (Seoul City Wall) in one of the afternoon during our #seoultrip. It was sunny but cooling, which made it a perfect weather for walking. As we climbed and walked along the city wall, the enchanting views of modern and traditional Seoul were truly fascinating. There were residential blocks with direct access to the City Wall. What a privilege! The residents can climb up the tiny hill and walk along the inner wall for fresh air and magnificent views. We appreciate the serenity of the surroundings as it was not over crowded with tourists. Highly recommended if you enjoy a hike with a view of the city! 🍂🚶♀️🍁
