The Beauty of Seoul is Seoul Forest

#holidayseason Seoul Forest is a slice of calm in this super bustling city. Whether you’re out on a date, spending time with family, chasing that perfect photo, or just looking for a place to unwind, this park has something magical for everyone. It’s hard not to fall in love with it. Spanning over 1.2 million square meters, it’s beautifully designed to blend nature, art, and recreational spaces. Every corner seems to offer something special: 1. Butterfly Conservatory and Insect Garden Watching butterflies flutter around feels like stepping into a fairy tale. It’s such a delight, especially for kids (and for grown-ups who still love small wonders like this). 2. Ginkgo Tree Forest In autumn, when the golden leaves blanket the ground, strolling here feels like walking through a dream. I didn’t visit during the foliage, but the photos from that season are stunning. 3. Mirror Pond A tranquil spot reflecting the sky and trees around it—perfect for photos or just soaking in the calm. 4. Ecological Forest This area stole my heart with its unexpected wildlife. I wasn’t expecting to see deer, but there they were, roaming around like they owned the place. This section also connects to Han River, so if you’re up for more exploring, you can follow the path to the river and enjoy the riverside views. --- 🪶Practical Tips 🪶Getting There: Take the subway to Seoul Forest Station (Bundang Line, Exit 3) or Ttukseom Station (Line 2, Exit 8).
