I never got the chance to see a bullfight. I was shocked to learn that in Korea, there's bullfighting, too. But it's not what you think. There's no matador or red cape. There's no sword and bloodied bull at the end, either. No, Korean bullfighting has its roots based in farming games between landowners and goes back nearly 1000 years. It's a small town about 40km south of Daegu and home to one of Korea's best arenas for this amazing sport. I do call Korean Bullfighting a sport, because the matches are divided into weight classes (the heaviest being over 1000kg) and the "fight" is really a wrestling match. The two bulls are brought in by their trainers and squared off. The animals lock horns and then maneuver around the dirt lot until one backs down. During the match, trainers shout instructions (it's almost like a real life version of Pokémon).

While the Cheonggyecheon remained, it wasn't really a nice place or a fun destination for families. The government sunk nearly 4 billion won into beautifying the 11 kilometer course from central Seoul to the Han River, giving us what we have today. You can learn more about the project and the stream at the official site. http://english.seoul.go.kr/cav/att/chenggye.php Music, used with permission.

Rather than resting in a city center or on a mountain, Younjuam's claim to fame is its unique location near the summit of Gwanaksan. In Korea, it is very rare to have a religious center so close to the peak of a mountain, making this excursion truly special. The temple itself dates back to 677, right in the Goryeo Dynasty. It was first given the name Gwanaksa, or Gwanak Mountain Temple, but the facilities were later renamed under the Joseon era as Younjuam. The temple's primary role was to allow monks to study Buddhist scriptures in the seclusion offered by the mountains. During the Joseon Dynasty, the temple erected a one story stone pagoda. It is said that this monument was erected by Grand Prince Hyoryeong, brother to King Sejong. Hyoryeong retreated to the temple and became a monk after his brother ascended the throne. There are two routes to the temple: 1) start from Seoul University and take the long way; or 2) ride Line 4 to Gwacheon Station and stretch your legs once outside exit 7. This is the route we took. The Korean Tourism Information Line also recommends this way, since the total distance to the temple is just under 5km from the station and 3.6 from the trail head. Those hiking should bring a liter of water to stay properly hydrated. The trail is rocky and well traveled. Two watering stations and several restrooms are present on the way up to the temple, so there is no need to carry a lot of gear. Total hiking time will take a fit person under an hour, while those in moderate shape can easily make the climb in 90-100 minutes.
