In the middle of Seoul, there is a secluded valley at the foot of Inwangsan. There are not many people, but there are those that support Inwangsan Mountain. Suseong-dong Valley, which also appeared in <Jangdong-pal Hinges> by Joong-jae Jeong, has come to us in a form almost identical to that of the Joseon Dynasty.

The valley called Suseong-dong Valley became famous because of the loud valley water. It wasn't until July 2011 that we revealed the hidden image to us.

The Suseongdong Valley was discovered in 2010 when the Okin Demonstration Apartment was demolished in 2010, and was restored to the park in recognition of its historical value. The park, located just above the end of the village bus in Okin-dong, Jongno-gu, is newly renovated and clean.

From the Joseon Dynasty, this area was called Suseong-dong and was also introduced as a scenic spot. You can see the unchanging appearance of the Seongseong-dong Valley in Jeongseon Jeong's painting, Jangdong-pal Hinges.

In particular, the fact that the Giraffe bridge, which is about 1.5m in length, placed at the beginning of the valley is almost similar to the painting of Gyeomjae, attracted attention. Giraffe is the only stone bridge preserved in its original form in the city, and it is interesting to note that it is made of stone.

The cliff on which the Giraffe Bridge is situated is rather dangerous, and because of the fear of damaging the bridge, you can't cross the fence directly, but it's fun just by comparing it to the picture of Joongjae.

Across from the Giraffe Bridge, there is a sperm that is good for rest. When I sit in this pavilion, I can see Inwangsan in the future, and I have a valley next to it, so I feel like I have to stop by.

Aunts who live in the neighborhood come out with fruits and flirt on the mat, spending the middle of the summer at leisure.

Chusa Kim Jeong-hee wrote the poem <Watching a Waterfall in the middle of Suseong-dong> against the backdrop of the Suseong-dong Valley. Because it is located in the middle of the city, it was a place where you could easily get along with nature without going anywhere. In addition to the outstanding scenery set in Mt.

However, the Suseongdong Valley has a fatal weakness. The point is that it is difficult to see the valley water normally. Even though it has been raining for several days, the waterway quickly disappears. So, you should go to the rainy day or the day after it rains so that you can enjoy the scenery of the Suseongdong Valley properly.

At the top of the valley, pine trees, walnut trees, hawthorn trees, and arrow trees form a lush forest, exuding fresh energy. Since the mountain is not deep, you can see the cool stream only after it is raining in general, but if you look carefully, you can still find a place to soak your feet quietly. It is a secret waterside like a secret garden. It is said to be a salamander habitat, so it is hard to say how clear the water is. The promenade around Suseong-dong Valley is well maintained, and is used as a resting place for nearby residents.

The park surrounding the Suseongdong Valley is compact. In 10-15 minutes, you can take a round. It looks like a recently created park, but it is a pity because it feels somewhat artificial. Nevertheless, there are traces of the efforts to preserve the old appearance by exposing the rock of the valley as much as possible at the time of restoration. It is not a pleasure to be able to meet the valley of the Joseon Dynasty in the place where the old apartment disappeared. After all, forest is better than buildings, and nature is better than man-made.

Climb up to the top of the valley to meet the Skyway of Inwangsan. If you cross one of the main roads, you will be connected to the Inwangsan Trail, and if you walk along the Skyway, you will pass through one sperm and lead to Buam-dong's “Poet's Hill”. It is also a good idea to walk along the road to Seoul Castle.
