Seosulla Stonewall Walkway is a charming and scenic path located near Jongmyo Shrine in the Jongno District (Jongno-gu) of Seoul, South Korea. Its name, a combination of "seo" (west) and "sulla," refers to its location west of Sullacheong, where Sullagun soldiers who patrolled Jongmyo Shrine stayed during the Joseon dynasty.
The walkway is situated near some of Seoul's most significant historical landmarks, including the Jongmyo Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and Changgyeonggung Palace. Its peaceful and romantic atmosphere, along with a growing number of trendy cafes and bars, has made it a hot place for young Koreans.
