Good to know

  • Stamp boxes: Myeongil Neighborhood Park and the Bangi-dong conservation area. They are outdoors and the ink can dry out, so bring your own ink pad (official advice).
  • Iljasan (134 m) is named for its shape: seen from above it looks like the character 一 (“one”).
  • The route ends near Olympic Park Station, so you can visit Olympic Park afterwards.
