Historic site where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the view. Omokdae Historic Site is perched atop a steep hill and is notable as a spot where Yi Seong-gye, who would later become King Taejo, celebrated his victory after the war against the Japanese army at Unbong Peak in Hwangsan Mountain. Directly across the bridge from Omokdae lies Imokdae Historic Site, located at the base of Seungamsan Mountain. About 80 meters downhill from Imokdae, there are memorial stones and a building that was once home to Mokjo, King Taejo’s great-great-grandfather. The inscriptions on the stones are written in the handwriting of Emperor Gojong. Mokjo relocated to Hamgyeongdo following a dispute with the then minister of Jeonju, an event that King Taejo believed was pivotal in his establishment of the Joseon dynasty.

The short path in the green hill through which I had to hike to get here, was good as well. I was waiting for a while, only until the sun set, but missed the peak photo time... Anyhow, the flamingo pinky sunset sky was so gorgeous, I was sorry not to seize the moment in my small phone cam. So, I recommend you to visit here and look at the unforgettable sight, in person :)

The guidebooks promised amazing views of the city from above. Essentially it's a small hike up a hill, but once you're up there you can't see the city as the view is obscured by vegetation. The only better view is on the stairs on the way up. If you go for the historic site, then there's a pavilion where you can rest. If you're looking for a calm-ish place to rest then it's a good place though.

Beautiful pavilion and trees in bloom in the summer time but the leaves in trees block the view to the Hanok village below. It would be better during late autumn or early spring to see the village below. Nevertheless, the hill is not difficult to climb and there are many paths to get to and the top and down again. We went up the path in the corner of Taejo-ro and Girin-daero.

Closed for construction! Pavilion atop a small hill with multiple walkways and stairways up, but they are all cursorily blocked with signs for construction. However we followed some locals and bypassed the barricades. Nice traditional architecture pavilion for photo taking at the top and a good view of the hanok village (traditional houses)

It's beautiful both during the day and at night. During the day, you can enjoy the view of the Hanok village roofs, while at night, you can admire the city lights from Omokdae. The area is illuminated with floodlights, creating a charming atmosphere. It's a great spot for a short hike as well.
