Seoulhikers

On Saturday, December 16th, we will go for a hike on Bonghwasan . Bonghwasan is located in Jungrang-gu, the eastern area of Seoul, and has a few beacon mounds at the top of the mountain, like Namsan. Near the peak it has a shaman shrine which performs rituals on March 3rd and June 6th. In spite of being a small mountain, Bonghwa has a lot of trails for comfortable and easy hikes.

How to get there: Line 6, Hwarangdae station (646), take Exit 7.
Where we meet: Inside the exit 6, the same place where we met to hike Bulam mountain.
When: 1:00 pm , Saturday, December 16th. Since this trail will not take long we will meet at 1:00 pm.
What we will do: Hike on Bonghwasan, and have a meal somewhere near the mountain afterwards.
Cost: Each person will pay for their own meal.

You may check how long the subway ride will take at Cyber Station, www.smrt.co.kr.

Please wear proper hiking footwear.

Cancellation policy: We will not cancel hikes due to inclement weather. Coordinators of the hikes will go to the meeting place and we will try to arrange an alternative activity (likely cultural in nature) if hiking is not possible. You are, of course, not obligated to attend.
