Jang Miran, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, explored the hiking course of Bukansan, a historical and cultural tourist resource near Cheongwadae, on the 5th, promoting the charm of K-Climbing in the Cheongwadae area.

The hiking course that Vice Minister Jang explored that day was a strictly controlled area, known as the "secret presidential walking path," but it was opened to the public last May along with Cheongwadae.

Vice Minister Jang hiked the course from Chilgung to Baegakjeong, Cheongwadae Observatory, and Cheongundae. About 20 people, including Korea’s representative mountaineer Captain Um Hong-gil, French broadcaster Fabian living in Seochon, domestic university students, and international students, participated together. The highlight of the course was the Cheongwadae Observatory, where participants enjoyed a panoramic view of downtown Seoul, including Cheongwadae, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gwanghwamun, and Namsan Tower.

Captain Um Hong-gil said, "I hope K-tourism, including tourism in the Cheongwadae area, will be revitalized by utilizing the world’s only urban hiking course."

Broadcaster Fabian also said, "Many Europeans do not have many opportunities to enjoy hiking in the city. I hope K-Climbing tourism, which allows people to feel the charm of the Cheongwadae area, including K-food linked with hiking, will become better known."

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism plans to offer various K-Climbing courses in the Cheongwadae area next year, categorized by duration and theme. They also plan to discover courses that can be combined with major urban tourism nationwide.
