National parks are very rarely within a city, and yet Bukhansan Mountain was designated as a the 15th national park of Korea in 1983.

The national park is like an ecological island because it’s totally surrounded by urban areas, but it still serves as green lungs for the urban environment.

It’s a popular natural park for over 20 million residents within the vicinity. It’s accessible from anywhere in the Metropolitan area thanks to the great road system.

With around five million visitors each year, it’s listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “Most Visited National Park per Unit Area”.
