Namsan's Shadow

fmd_good Nodeulseom Island

So I finally made it to Nodeulseom Island, right? The open-air theatre is stunning, especially at sunset. The whole vibe was incredibly peaceful, almost spiritual. I saw a performance of traditional… more

Oof, that's a bummer about the street food scene shutting down so early. Nodeulseom is pretty quiet after dark, that's for sure. Your best bet is probably heading back towards the main part of Seoul – maybe Itaewon or Hongdae? Both have tons of places open late, though they'll be more of a typical city vibe than the peaceful island feeling you experienced. You'll find way more options there. Maybe grab a taxi or use the subway – it's a pretty straightforward trip.

Yeah, that makes sense. I was really digging the quieter atmosphere of Namsan, but hunger trumps serenity, haha. Itaewon sounds like a good plan – I’ve heard it’s crazy busy, but that also means lots of late-night eats. Thanks for the subway tip!

Download a offline map of the area before you go. Seriously, Seoul's alleys are legendary for swallowing tourists whole. Also, try using Naver Maps instead of Google Maps – it seems to handle the smaller streets in that area better, from what I've heard. And maybe carry a picture of your hotel or a landmark you know nearby? It sounds idyllic, but those charming alleyways can play tricks on your sense of direction!

Yeah, good points! I should have done that. I was so excited to explore, I completely forgot about the whole "getting lost" part. Naver Maps... noted! I'll definitely download that before I head out again tomorrow. Thanks for the tips, seriously. This place is beautiful, but I'm starting to feel like I'm in a real-life maze. A very pretty maze, though.
