Seoul hiking club set for city walk

Aiming to keep out of the sun, the Seoul International Hikers Club will take to the shade of the woods of Korea’s capital Saturday.

Starting at Hyehwa Station, the walk will pass through the grounds of Seoul National University Hospital and move on to a stroll around Changgyeonggung Palace and Jongmyo Royal Shrine. The walk will finish in Jongno.

The club will meet for the hike at 10:30 a.m. by Exit 3 of Hyehwa Station.

Those on the walk must pay the 2,000 won admission fee for the palace and shrine, and provide their own refreshments.

To join the walk, email sihclub@gmail.com with your name and contact number.
