Hi, I’m Tabi!

Gwanak-gu in southern Seoul combines Gang Gam-chan’s story at Nakseongdae with Sillim’s sundae food culture. Start at the park and treat summit hikes as separately prepared outings.

This guide covers places within Gwanak-gu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Anguksa in Nakseongdae Park in 202001

A first-visit stop

Nakseongdae Park and Anguksa

낙성대공원·안국사

A park and shrine commemorating General Gang Gam-chan. The photo shows Anguksa in 2020. Treat it as a commemorative shrine rather than a Buddhist temple and respect visitor guidance.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Gang Gam-chan Birthplace Site

강감찬 생가 터

A commemorative birthplace site, distinct from Anguksa in the park. The three-story stone pagoda was moved to the park in 1973; do not expect an intact original house.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Sillim’s sundae area features stir-fried Korean blood sausage and vegetables. The district guide describes spicy and baek-sundae versions. Check ingredients, including offal, and spice levels at the shop.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Walk designated paths around Nakseongdae Park and Anguksa. Check the separate birthplace location if adding it; Sillim’s food area or a mountain hike need their own plans.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
