Walking Tour around Baekje's Capital, Seoul (Mongchontoseong ~ Seokchon-dong Ancient Tombs)
A walking tour in Seoul with a focus on the history of Baekje Kingdom.
History goes way back 700,000 years when the Korean peninsula was first settled by people. The three main kingdoms that ruled Korea were Shilla, Goguryeo, and Baekje. Baekje was established in BC 18 and ruled the southwestern part of the peninsula until 660 AD when it was defeated by the Tang Dynasty and Shilla. It is said that the capital of Baekje was located in present-day Songpa, Seoul. In this tour, you'll get to see what remains of the Baekje Kingdom in modern-day Seoul.
