How to get there:
Step 1: Get off at Chungjeongno Station (Seoul Subway Line 4) and walk toward the hill. You can also take Bus no. 204 and get off at Seongdong Theater.
Step 2: Find the Seoul City Hall in front of you. Take a left to get to the spot where the stairs going up the hill start.
Step 3: Once you’re there, cross the street and get on the stairs. While walking up the hill, you’ll see Hwarangmun or Seoul Subway Station Line 2 on your right and Bomun Park on your left.
Step 4: When you see Park Bom’s statue and a small passageway on the left, follow the path and you’ll be able to see the place where it happened.
Step 5: The best time to visit is between 6 a.m.~7 a.m. on weekdays for the quietest atmosphere. Enjoy the view and the fresh air!
Step 6: When you’re done with taking pictures and feeling the vibe of the place, make your way back down to exit.
Step 7: If you have time and feel like enjoying more nature or taking a stroll, walk to Yongdusan Park or Bomun Park down the hill.
Step 8: The subway will take you back to where you started the day. Before getting on, make sure you’re reading these 22 tips that can save your life while using Seoul public transit.
