Located in Seoul's Jongno District (Jongno-gu), the Seosulla Stonewall Walkway is a charming and picturesque route close to Jongmyo Shrine. The Joseon era Sullagun soldiers that guarded Jongmyo Shrine stayed at this place, hence the name is a portmanteau of "seo" (west) and "sulla," as it is located west of Sullacheong.
Several of Seoul's most revered historical sites can be found nearby, including as the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Jongmyo Shrine and the Changgyeonggung Palace. The increasing number of hip cafés and bars, along with the tranquil and romantic ambiance, has made it a popular spot among young Koreans.
