Cheonggyecheon
The level stream through the centre. Walk it when knees complain — do not switch to climbing Namsan. Next is Gwangjang, not Hongdae.
seoul-center
Dongdaemun
East Cheonggyecheon, Gwangjang, Dongdaemun and DDP. Market and the design plaza can share an axis — not a deep Gyeongbokgung visit.

Gwangjang Market
One meal of mung-bean pancakes and beef bibimbap. Then Dongdaemun or back to the stream — not Namdaemun as well.

Dongdaemun Market
Wholesale density and a night market. One corridor — do not also walk Myeongdong streets the same day.

Dongdaemun Design Plaza
The silver building and the buried-wall exhibit. Close the Dongdaemun axis here — not another mall.

Heunginjimun
The Great East Gate. Landmark of the wholesale and night market — many shops are shut by day.

Changsin-dong
Sewing shops and homes on the slope by Dongmyo. The back of the wholesale district — not a second Myeongdong.

Naksan Park
The wall park between Hyehwa and Dongdaemun. One short walk. Bukhansan is not on this graph.

Dongmyo Shrine
The Guan Yu shrine and flea strip north of Dongdaemun. Morning — do not also make the night market the whole day.

Hyehwamun
The gate east of Daehak-ro. Start of a short Naksan walk — not a trailhead.
Seoul Yangnyeongsi Herb Market
The herb market at Jegi-dong. Next after a Dongmyo morning — not a second meal at Gwangjang.
