Achasan Mountain Seoul South Korea

This is me standing near the peak of Achasan, a mountain located close to my place.

One of the nicest areas of Seoul are the uber-convenient hiking trails. Seoul is surrounded by mountains, which attributes to it’s high population density (approximately 1.5x New York City).  There are some really nicely maintained hiking trails in various mountains throughout the city with incredible views.

There are exercise stations on several landings on the mountains. Here are some Koreans taking full advantage of these facilities.

Here’s a guy doing “twisties” on a rotating disc. Very interesting. Not sure how much of a work-out this really is. I promise I’ll post video footage once I figure out YouTube.

No deer? Ok, let’s make deer.
