Foliage of Suraksan Mountain, the guardian mountain of Seoul
At 638m above sea level, it is called one of the four famous mountains near Seoul along with Bukhansan, Dobongsan, and Gwanaksan. Suraksan, which is mostly made up of broadleaf trees, also presents a spectacular sight in the fall when the maple leaves change color to orange and yellow.

It is included in the first course of the Seoul Trail along with Mt. Surak, and it has a natural yard, a footpath, and an ecological learning center created by our district, so we can promote our district as an ‘eco-friendly city where nature and humans coexist.’ In particular, the snowy scenery is beautiful, so many famous mountaineering clubs visit Mt. Bul-am in the winter.

It has high preservation value as it is designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.

Gyeongchun Line Forest Road and Hwarangdae Station
Hwarangdae Station, which has a high symbolic value as the ‘Seoul's Last Simple Station’, presents a beautiful scenery with wildflowers in full bloom around the railroad tracks and the sunset at dusk. It is expected that its usability will increase when a railroad museum is built, and the Gyeongchun Line Forest Trail, which passes the old Hwarangdae Station and continues along the railroad tracks, is loved as a walking trail by residents.
Nowon Reed Forest of Jungnangcheon
Our district, which has been used as a transportation route connecting the south and the north since ancient times, has developed wide plains and reed fields, and has been using the name of the district as “Reed No (蘆) Plain Won (原)” since the Goryeo Dynasty. The reed forest, which is about 1km long and has been created along the Jungnangcheon Stream within our district, will be a place that can highlight the symbolism of our district.
Joseon Dynasty Tombs of Choansan Mountain
The Choansan Tomb Cluster, designated as Historic Site No. 440, is a unique tourist resource in our district where the tombstones and steles of Joseon Dynasty officials and scholars are scattered.
