서울의 대표 야간 명소인 남산의 숲과 야경을 걸으며 즐기는 비경쟁형 야간 트래킹 행사다. 참가자는 남산골한옥마을에서 출발해 남산연결보행로와 남산공원길을 지나 남산타워까지 약 3km를 이동한다. 야광 손목팔찌 및 야광 그립톡을 지닌 참가자들의 작은 빛이 남산 밤길을 따라 이어져 반딧불이 움직이는 듯한 풍경을 만든다. 회차별 약 700명이 100명 단위 7개 그룹으로 나뉘어 준비운동과 안전교육 후 순차 출발하며, 팔각정 도착 후 그룹별 기념사진을 촬영 해산한다.
The Korea Tourism Organization’s helpline answers in English, Japanese and Chinese around the clock, and in several other languages from 08:00 to 19:00. Dial 1330 from a Korean phone, or +82-2-1330 from a phone registered abroad.
112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance. Both are free from any phone. Police on 112 can add an English or Chinese interpreter to the call.
Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.
Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
Book trains on Korail’s English site and express buses on Kobus. Holiday weekends sell out first.
