Most of the top Seoul hotels also offer guided tours of the city.

Aside from the view, one of the most interesting attractions here is the historical Pukhan Fortress. There are also a large number of Buddhist temples scattered over the mountain. Bongeusna Temple One of South Korea's most important temples, the Bongeusna Temple was originally constructed in 794.
