108 Stairs

Huam-dong 108 Stairs is a stepped pedestrian route in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, connecting Haebangchon Ogeori, Sinheung Market, and Noksapyeong Station. It was built in 1943 as a pilgrimage path to Gyeongseong Hoguk Shrine and later used by residents as a daily walking route. The elevator serves floors 1 through 4, and riders pass murals on the way up and small shops in the alley midway. The elevator moves slowly, so it is not suited for fast travel.
