Eungbongsan
응봉산
A low hill of 81 metres in Eungbong-dong, Seongdong-gu. The octagonal pavilion at the top looks clear across the Han and the city beyond it, which is why people climb it after dark; in early April the whole hill goes yellow with forsythia.

Nearby
Seoul Forest
The park is open 24 hours and never closes, but almost everything worth timing inside it does — the ecological forest, both conservatories and the floor fountain all keep separate hours, and the two indoor ones shut on Mondays. Tents, sun shelters and awnings are banned outright, which is the rule most picnic plans get wrong.
Olympic Gymnasium, Hanyang University
The indoor hall on Hanyang University's Seoul campus, an Olympic venue in 1988 that stayed a university building afterwards. Its name is close enough to the arena in Olympic Park to be confused with it regularly.
Hanilkwan Apgujeong
A Korean set-menu house that opened in Jongno in 1939 as a bulgogi restaurant and later moved to Apgujeong; it serves by the table setting.
Dwaeji Gomtang Hau Seongsu
A gomtang house working on a clear pork broth.
