Seoul's 600-year-old City Wall is a MUST See | One of Korea's most BEAUTIFUL Historical Places

[@simsimran]

Awwww kyuho is wearing his glasses 🥲

[@2hearts1seoul]

Yes! We so lucky to catch some bright flowers and a bit of early fall foliage on our day out 🕶

[@shmickyshmoe]

That was beautiful!!!!! Thanks for sharing . Hope you can visit “The Wall” again and show some more of the cool little shops and more of the amazing history of this ancient place

[@2hearts1seoul]

There are lots of areas to explore along the wall, so we’d love to check out another chunk of it 😊

[@user-cm2ky4uh9y]

3:07 Mighty god, you look like you just popped right out of a movie, Kyuho. Those sunglasses look incredibly good on you. 🤯🤯

[@missdeath1990]

Your knowledge and skill of cinematography is so excellent that to a person who doesn't know you would assume you belong to this profession only.. I really appreciate the angles, music, the pauses and the connection you build with the individual walking.. The place is definitely beautiful, but I am more in awe of how you captured it All. 🌟 perhaps you could make video about your tips and tricks on how you record and edit.

[@2hearts1seoul]

Thank you so much for the very kind words. We put a lot of thought into the filming and editing process and sometimes wonder “will anyone even notice these minute details we’re agonizing over?“ 😅 So that really means a lot.

[@tjohannam]

@@2hearts1seoul I notice the details all the time and appreciate them so much. Your's is a vlog channel I really like to follow and watch because of the high quality video, the narration, the aesthetics, the b-rolls. ✨

날씨 좋을때 찍으러 가셔서 영상이 정말 잘나왔네요 시청자 입장에서도 좋았어요 풍경을 잘 담아오셔서. 서울성곽말고 남한산성도 가을에 정말 좋아요.예전에 다녀오셨지만요. ㅋ

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

저는 수원 살아서 평소에 화성 성곽길을 한바퀴씩 운동삼아 돌곤합니다. 서울에 비해 거리가 짧긴 하지만요~ 저도 이 영상보니 조만간 서울가서 한번 도전해 봐야겠습니다^^ 항상 영상 잘 보고 있습니다~

[@peterkimcpams9385]

My neck of the wood!!! I grew up near 동대문 in the 70s. What a transformation!!!

[@2hearts1seoul]

Oh wow, I bet it looked so different in the 70s! Even in the last 5-10 years many areas of Seoul have changed a LOT!

[@arcie3716]

This honestly looks like a fun way to exercise and learn more about history at the same time ❤

[@2hearts1seoul]

Definitely! You forget how much you’re walking when you see the views ⛰️

[@ginapino2857]

What a gorgeous day for this hike!!! It is so beautiful. I saw another KZbinr who was visiting Korea has done the entire length. It looked so interesting going through different sections of the city. I’m so glad that Kyuho can experience all the fall colors on such a lovely day! Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing this! Seoul’s weather looks perfect right now!

Making a group travelling trip with 2hearts1seoul is a good idea

[@astinmonastra2466]

I love the Seoul Wall paths! You guys should do the Inwangsan section next - it’s a great walk with awesome views. Love your videos ❤

[@2hearts1seoul]

We’d definitely love to see even more of it 😊 Thanks for watching ❤

[@larinacooking9418]

Hi Guys, Looks amazing!! I want to try it for sure.. welcome Back to Seoul!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@TiaChii]

When i lived in seoul, thise walks where a great way to "escape" the city. Also it brings back your perspective of where you are in the world as you can see so far and much. Its a lot easier then climing namsan or Bukhansan for sure! Haha totally recommend!

[@elisemiller13]

What a beautiful historical walk! Thank you for taking us along! Would Love it if you would do an interview video with the elders on why they are so Healthy!

[@nukem384]

Just beautiful! Love these types of vlogs where we get to see different parts of the city! Not quite the same, but when we visited, for some dumb reason (maybe cause my parents are hikers), instead of taking that tram up to the top of Namsan tower, we walked up the million steps! Yeah, we were gassed after that one haha. So I feel you guys!

[@2hearts1seoul]

Oh wow! Props to you guys-that would destroy us! 😂

[@alisonmcguire4505]

I've walked this stretch of the wall before. The views are lovely, but the climb is steep! As I watched, I kept thinking about you folks having to backtrack for the camera/tripod. Double the climb! This is a great video. I hope we have more clear and sunny days like this soon. 🌄

[@2hearts1seoul]

Hahah, yup! It’s double the climbing time for us when stopping and backtracking for our tripods and cameras 😅 The views were so beautiful that day though, so it was totally worth it!

[@mjl5497]

I’ve walked near East Gate on visits to Seoul and never knew this wall even existed - added to my itinerary for next time! The history of the structure is fascinating -thank you!

[@2hearts1seoul]

It’s such a beautiful area! 😊

[@moiradyer4470]

Loved this. Definitely going to try and walk part of Seoul City Wall this month!

[@cristinasantos9679]

Thank you much for showing us the very beautiful Seoul view. I only knew a small part of the wall witch i saw in k-dramas. I love to watch it. It is breathtaking🪴🌻🌺🦋🍂🌿🌾🍃

[@2hearts1seoul]

It’s definitely incredible to experience in person 🌾 So glad we had a clear, sunny day! 🌞

Love this music in this one!

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Thank you. I learned so much during this video. I wonder what is the original purpose of the walls? Were they for reasons of defence, feng shui like intent? I really appreciate when you show old parts of Seoul and include their history. Please make more history infused videos.

[@jenniferm.northcarolinausa4132]

I recently saw this wall on another KZbinrs page and it looks amazing. This is on my bucket list for travel one day! Amazing views and love that you can stop along the way for breaks and refueling 🙌🏼

[@marenhumblebee2736]

So beautiful 😍 this path along the wall! Love your beautiful shots!!! The ade looked so refreshing 😊

[@2hearts1seoul]

Thank you 🥰 The ade was the perfect refresher after the hot sunny walk! 🍊

[@kleelee2670]

Now it all makes sense why it is sooo hilly in Seoul while watching our Kdramas - Lol . It definitely keeps folks physically fit. Thanks for sharing - loved hearing about the history of the City Wall. Last trip to Seoul was 10/2019 right before the pandemic. Who knew what awaited for us within the next few months that will be written in the history books for sure. So happy to see Kyuho seeing colors with his new glasses! cheers

[@pparkeroni]

I stayed a stop away from Dongdaemun on my very first trip to Seoul and I remember stumbling onto the trail right by the gate! I'm not used to historical sites being so accessible like that and thought it was illegal to be on so I booked it hahah (but to be fair it was night so I wouldn't have been able to go far anyways).

[@2hearts1seoul]

It is honestly pretty nuts how many historical sites there are right smack in the middle of the city-so I don’t blame you for thinking that! 😂

[@mindysmom6132]

Hiii Sarah! Hiii Kyuho! Congratulations on your sponsorship! Much deserved! You’re IT! I would so pay you both for a tour of Seoul. You’re both so knowledgeable and the places that you share with us are amazing! Kyuho, as soon as I saw you, I thought, ‘nice aviators Kyuho,’ then to find that they’re the special sunglasses, wow! What a perfect time for you to receive them! The changing of the colors of your trees in the fall are stunning! What an absolutely beautiful walk! Thank you both for allowing me to live vicariously through you! Take care! ❤

[@jlogsdon1540]

I’ve seen that wall in so many K-dramas but I never knew the history behind it. Thanks for all the information about it. It was super interesting. ❤

[@2hearts1seoul]

Didn’t realize it was featured in so many Korean historical dramas, but that definitely makes sense! :)

[@chrisstar6259]

Thank you for the great walk and scenery. Brings back memories. Walked the same area when it was freezing cold winter. Looks nice in fall. Miss Seoul.

Every time I watch one of your vlogs it makes me miss Seoul/S. Korea so much! I can’t wait to revisit the country once again when I make my way to Asia. 💖 Also, I can’t believe it’s still summer days over there. We’re freezing our a**es off in Central Europe (and can’t even turn on the heaters due to current political/economic reasons😬)

[@2hearts1seoul]

It’s supposed to really cool off here in Korea this week ☔️ Not too happy about it 🥲

[@velyvely6479]

the amount of times/moments i fall in love with Seoul / Korea is endless :) enjoyed watching your walk along the wall, I've only ever kept passing it, next time i'll go along it :)

[@_JennyTamara]

How peaceful and calming this video was so informative and looks like so much fun and enjoyable, the reason I love Korean culture is because it’s well preserved by the country the history and culture is so fascinating 🥹

[@2hearts1seoul]

[@veritush]

what a lovely adventure! incredible views of the city! I'd love to visit seoul in the future, definitely will try walking some of those paths. had no idea most of the wall was still up! btw, love that kyuho continues to rediscover the world around him. autumn leaves are such a glorious gift- happy he can enjoy them in a new way now :)

[@butterflymuse2707]

What a lovely hike! And for being so old that wall looks in excellent condition! The wall layers makes my archaeologist heart happy lol (fun fact, they've had to do similar conservation efforts on the stones that make up the Sphinx in Egypt)! I love that stuff! If I ever get to visit Seoul this is on my list to do! And how special is it that you get to go with Kyuho again when he can see all the colors! ♥️😭

[@2hearts1seoul]

They’ve definitely done a fantastic job with restoration treatment over the years and keeping it in great shape! We didn’t expect there to be any bright fall leaves out yet, so it was really something to see him spot some red leaves for the first time ☺️

[@nicolegordon129]

How beautiful. That’s one of the things that I love about looking at video of Seoul. I love the juxtaposition between the old and new architecture. And most old cities have walls that fortified the city and protected against outside intruders, enemies, etc. Old San Juan, Puerto Rico and (Old) Quebec City, in Canada have similar fortified walls. These were mostly to protect against intruders from the sea. Thanks for sharing.

[@2hearts1seoul]

It’s really cool to experience something that has such a long history and has been so well maintained ⛰

A very nice video of my almost daily walk. I'm privileged to both live and work right next to the Wall and Naksan Park. "A day of climbing😅.? I guess when you're filming it may take a long time. But in reality, from Dongdaemun over Naksan Park down to Hyehwamun takes less than an hour

[@2hearts1seoul]

You’re so luckily to live in the area! 😃 Haha, filming while walking that portion definitely took a day 😂 All those shots of us walking in the distance, we have to keep running back to get the tripod, get b-roll shots, etc.

[@chickletta]

@@2hearts1seoul privileged indeed. I may be subjective bit to me this is the best place to live in Seoul

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

This was so lovely. I will have to do this trail when I come back to Seoul. When I was hiking there last May all the ahjummas were passing me on the trail too haha. Also, I was surprised to find a cute cat on the peak in what felt like the middle of nowhere. In Utah where I'm from you would never find a cat in the mountains (except maybe a mtn lion).

[@2hearts1seoul]

They were walking past us too 😂 As for the cats, we saw a few of them, and they were all TNR’d, plump, and really comfortable around people, so they seem really well cared for ☺️

[@missOhdrey]

I’m jealous of your fall weather in Korea. Its been between 5-10 degrees celcius all week and gloomy in Montreal, if I want to go out for any length of time I need to take out my winter sweaters already 😂 I hope to visit SK one day. I’ve been studying korean for over a year but my progress is slow.

[@2hearts1seoul]

It won’t last, sadly 🥲 This week it’s supposed to cool down quite a bit. But gosh, 5-10 degrees is really cold for early October! 🥶 Korean is one of the most difficult languages for native English speakers to learn, so it’s normal for progress to be slow :)

Cool trail! Thanks for sharing this with us. I believe that other walled cities around the world, had similar rules about burial (in Jerusalem, it's definitely the case). Graveyards are often considered unclean places (religiously speaking), they may stink and attract vermin. Also, they are a huge waste of valuable real estate, which is even more scarce in a walled city.
