About the event
The Namsan Bongsu Ceremony and other traditional culture events recreate the communication methods of the Joseon era. They are hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to share Korea's own traditional culture with citizens and visitors from Korea and abroad and to give them a chance to enjoy it. In the Joseon era, the Namsan Beacon Mound was an important means of communication, where beacon signals sent from beacon mounds across the country were finally gathered and the situation was reported to the capital. At the Namsan Beacon Mound, you can watch the Namsan Bongsu Ceremony and listen to a historical commentary. The Bosingak Bell Ringing Event for Citizens, held every day at noon, is a participatory event where citizens and visitors take part together. At the Palgakjeong Pavilion plaza of N Seoul Tower, you can watch a samulnori performance and a traditional martial arts demonstration. Hands-on programs are also offered, such as the one-day Gyeongjeomgwan (night watch officer) experience and the one-day beacon keeper experience.
