Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Samo Bawi

Shangri-La Seoul Han River Resort is a top choice, just a 15-minute drive from Ssangyeok Rock. The hotel blends Korean-style garden architecture with modern luxury, offering panoramic views of the Han River and surrounding hills. Guests can enjoy authentic Korean tea ceremonies in the morning, followed by a scenic walk along the Ssangyeok Rock trail at sunset. Complimentary shuttle service ensures easy access, making it an ideal base for experiencing the harmony between Korean nature and culture.

The most convenient route is taking Seoul Subway Line 2 to Sinchon Station, then transferring to a local bus or walking about 20 minutes. While parking is available nearby, the mountainous terrain and narrow roads make driving impractical, especially during peak seasons. Instead, use a T-money card for buses and subway—ideal for enjoying the city-nature blend along the way. Many tour groups also offer private transfers, perfect for families or visitors with mobility needs, ensuring a safe and stress-free journey.

Hike the Ssangyeok Rock trail to experience seasonal cherry blossom viewing in spring and autumn foliage tours with informative ecological signage highlighting native flora and birds. The summit observation deck offers breathtaking views of Seoul’s skyline mirrored in the Han River—ideal for sunrise photography. During certain seasons, outdoor mindfulness workshops are held, combining breathwork and nature meditation, allowing visitors to deeply connect with the spirit of Korean natural philosophy.

Ssangyeok Rock itself is a natural photography hotspot, its distinctive hat-like shape creating dramatic silhouettes under morning mist or golden hour light. Nearby, the glass art bridge along the Han River glows enchantingly at night, perfect for romantic shots. The traditional Korean teahouse at the mountain base, with wooden structures and stone pathways, offers a stunning backdrop for cultural-style portraits. Bring a tripod and shoot during twilight to capture long-exposure effects that highlight the poetic fusion of Korean nature and heritage.

Swiss Grand Hotel Seoul

Staying at Swiss Grand Hotel Seoul was a delightful surprise, especially for travelers who appreciate a touch of Western elegance in a vibrant city setting. While the hotel’s hillside location is definitely unique—coming straight from the airport shuttle made me and my mom gasp at the steep, long climb up the slope with our luggage (we stopped several times, it felt like a real workout!)—the effort is worth it once you’re inside. The peaceful, quiet atmosphere away from the downtown bustle is refreshing. Staff are all fluent in English, incredibly helpful, and genuinely warm—especially the front desk attendant who quickly arranged a taxi for us on departure. The rooms are spacious and well-designed, the service attentive, and overall the experience feels premium without being overly expensive. If you're willing to walk a bit uphill (or take a quick ride), this hotel offers a standout blend of comfort, convenience, and charm in Seoul.

Tong Tong Petit Hotel

Tongtong Petit Hotel is an absolute gem—cozy, charming, and perfectly located right near Ikseondong Hanok Street, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Gwangjang Market. At night, the lively Pocha Street (with its street-side bar tents) comes alive just a 2-minute walk away, offering endless food options. The Jongno 3-ga Station is only a 4-minute stroll, making public transit super convenient. The room was exactly as shown in the photos—small but thoughtfully designed, spotless, and even came with a back massager, which was a delightful surprise. I especially loved having a cozy café on the ground floor for my morning coffee fix. Perfect for solo travelers who value comfort, convenience, and a genuine local vibe. A standout stay in Seoul!
