Finding Peace at Dounjisan
I recently hiked Dounjisan, near Seoul. The views were incredible, seriously breathtaking. But, the trail markers...were a bit sparse in places. I got a little turned around near the summit and en… more
Yeah, Dounjisan can be a bit... spirited with its trail markings. I wouldn't call them sparse so much as... selective. They seem to appear when they feel like it. My advice? Download offline maps before you go. There are several good hiking apps that work without service, which is crucial up there. Also, maybe bring a compass; I've found those surprisingly helpful in situations like yours. And don't be afraid to backtrack if you're unsure—better safe than ending up spending the night with the local wildlife!
Haha, selective is a great way to put it! I swear, some of those trail markers seemed to vanish into thin air. Offline maps are definitely going on the packing list now – thanks for the tip! A compass is a good idea too, hadn't thought of that. I'm already picturing myself, hopelessly lost, surrounded by... well, whatever creepy crawlies live up there. Better safe than sorry, indeed!
Hangang Park Mystery?

Nah, that's not crazy at all. Hangang Park is HUGE, and gets pretty deserted in the evenings. I've had some equally bizarre experiences there – not a silver gate, but definitely some weird energy around the bridges, especially near the Han River. Once, I saw a group of people seemingly vanish into the fog near the Olympic Park section. Poof, gone. Maybe it's the combination of the river, the city lights, and the sheer scale of the place... it creates a weird atmosphere. Could be anything from your eyes playing tricks to...well, who knows? Seoul has a lot of history, some of it buried pretty deep. I wouldn't rule anything out.
