The Baengmaek Festival, which has grown into a representative event of Gangbuk-gu since 2023, aims to help transform Uicheon Stream into a permanent night market and a cultural space centered along the stream. In line with Seoul’s efforts to develop attractions nearby the stream, the festival highlights the area’s scenic waterfront as its main venue. Bringing together local businesses and young entrepreneurs, the festival creates a welcoming space for people of all ages. Rather than focusing on big-name performers, it features a variety of busking acts and performances by local artists, encouraging community participation. It also expands opportunities for small businesses by offering spaces for traditional market foods and craft beer, helping vendors reach new customers.

Dooly Museum is Korea’s first museum to be dedicated to a single character. The museum is dedicated to Dooly, the main character from the Korean cartoon series “Dooly the Little Dinosaur.” The cartoon was published as a series on a comic magazine called “Bomulseom” from 1983 to 1993, following Dooly’s adventure that begins from his arrival to Ssangmun-dong inside a glacier from the Ice Age. Inspired by the series, this interactive museum was founded in Ssangmun-dong and explores the value and meaning of the hit series through the expansion of its works such as the animation series, character merch, and other media sources.

Located at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain, the April 19th National Cemetery was established in memory of the 224 people who lost their lives during the 4.19 Revolution in 1960. The cemetery features a memorial hall and a traditional wooden structure that houses the grave of the historic figure Yu Yeongbong.

At the cemetery is a pond surrounded by sculptures such as “Symbolic Door,” “Roots of Democracy,” and “Sparks of Justice” and a memorial tower bearing an inscription for the brave patriots who lost their lives during the revolution. Groves of pine, juniper, yew, and maple trees and the well-kept hiking path add a natural charm to the overwhelming ambiance of peace and serenity. Many people visit to see the spring blossoms in May, and throughout the year to take in the glorious scene of the sunset over Bukhansan Mountain.
