There were several family cemetaries along our walk. Judging by the height of the mounds, it doesn't look like they used to bury the deceased very deep in the ground. The burial grounds were all fenced, and had these granite statues watching over things
I think this is the first time we have walked anywhere in Seould that would be considered forest. It was a small one, but still nice to walk on a dirt path surrounded by trees, instead of being surrounded by highrise apartments.
It is very common to find exercise equipment in almost all of the parks where people walk. This was at the top of the hill next to the pagoda.
A favorite game played by Korean men using a board similar to a checker board and flat white and black marbles. {I really need to find out the name of the game one of these days. It's so popular they even have a t.v. channel that is dedicated to it.}

It really is a beautiful place!
The exercise equipment in the middle of the small forest is interesting. How many times have I been on a walk through a park and thought, "If only I had a weight set or a stationary bike right now!" :)
