Inwangsan Shelter in the woods

It will be autumn at the Inwangsan checkpoint. Wouldn't it be a place to get drenched in autumn, starting from the road surrounded by mountains? It's also a bookstore, so that moment when you sit on the roof and open a hot new book you just picked up while sipping a hot latte. Autumn is complete. - Kim Shin-jo incident, guard post and bookstore - An armed conspirator arrested at 1:30 a.m. at the foot of Inwangsan in 1968. This is a summary of the Kim Shin-jo incident that we are familiar with in history classes. After that, many things in Korea change. There have been very big changes such as the reserve army, ID checks, and extension of the period of service. The place that was created in this historical background is the Inwangsan checkpoint. This is a post made by the police to do security work. And now it has been transformed into a completely different space. - I don't know if you know the Inwangsan hiking trail well. The original purpose of the space was to be near the place where the armed consort was discovered, so it is not an easy road for people to pass through. It is located on the side of a mountain and is not easily accessible. It is said that the 1813 bus used to go here in the past, but now it is not easy to access even by bus. To that extent, to come here, you must have a strong lower body and strong physical strength, or you must have a driver's license and own ownership. Of course, you can also take a taxi. However, it would be quite difficult to get around again in a taxi that is difficult to catch. Just like the author did. - The story of the land where the space is located is as above. Now, it would be good to find out how the properties of a space called a post office have changed. Of course, because it was a post, it is a place with an open view, and it is also an advantageous position for defense. This is where there is an advantage that it can now be replaced with an observation deck. At the same time, because of its location, it is rather close to nature and quiet, and has a distinctly different impression from existing bookstores. So, in summary, because of the locational and attribute characteristics of the past space, this place can be a quiet cafe with a good view. In addition to the bookstore, it also functions as an observatory. The way to go is not easy. But isn't this the beauty of mountaineering? A sense of accomplishment filled with the view from the summit and the wind blowing in the wind. This space has the same experiential process as mountaineering. You have to climb for a while from #Yundongju Literature Museum, but the joy of meeting them is similar to that of mountaineering. At the same time, they provide better bread and coffee than a mountain lodge. The menu is pretty good and it's also delicious. The books on the table stand out, but what stands out even more is the arrangement of the desks and chairs. Somewhere in the living room of a luxury house, the comfortable seats with a wonderful view look perfect for reading a book. - Leave the bookstore and cafe on the first floor behind and go up to the second floor. It has spacious cafe seating. There is also a podium that functions as an exhibition. However, what stands out even more on the second floor is the rooftop space. The roof top is much more accessible at the end of the stairs with a height difference of half a floor. A glass wall delimits the rooftop space. Beyond that is the sunset of Jongno seen from Mt. Inwang. All seats are arranged in a direction where you can see the sunset well. It is easy to see that it is a place where you can even enjoy it to the fullest by making a seat on the railing. - As the heat wave continues like this, the artist is also losing a lot of energy, but what we are waiting for every day is the 'now, this moment'. at sunset. Some people were “Summer is the most annoying, but I remember it strangely and beautifully.” Hearing that story, the author laughed and passed it on, but looking back on it today, I really want to say, 'This summer is the most beautiful.' The sky dyed with a soft pink color, the appearance of the green mountain, and the feeling of the rocks hanging behind the mountain like Inwangsan, show a completely different view from other spaces. I waited for the sunset to end. go back down to the seat I read the book and looked around. Again, as the composition of the space was substantial, it could be seen that it was a space with many meanings. The old wall of the guard post, which remains on the first floor terrace, serves as a bench. It seems to have left behind what the pattern of space was. However, since the location of this place cannot be easily determined in the modern context, it was an interesting space for its existence. - Walking down Inwangsan Mountain while looking at the low red moon. His energy was worn out from the sweltering heat of summer, but his mood was high. - This is the #Inwangsancho bookstore located in the middle of Mt. Cheongunsan. - Location _ 172 Inwangsan-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Fully equipped parking lot [Available for about 6-7 cars] - Business hours _ 08-22 - Menu is attached. - PS.
