Seongdong-gu, Seoul
Description:
Seoul Forest is an eco-friendly zone appreciated not only by the people of the city but also those visiting Seoul. Seoul Forest is rapidly developing into the premium city-park of Korea like Hyde Park in London and Central Park in New York.
If there is a Central Park in New York, there is Seoul Forest in Seoul.
Ttukseom, where Seoul Forest is located, was originally a amusement park where citizens who could not go out for a summer vacation came to play, and ‘ttukdo Purification Plant’ , the first water source to be built in Seoul.
Seoul Forest is a forest of citizens created by redevelopment of Ttukseom, decorating a huge 116 hectares of space into a forest and creating a park with multiple themes inside, which has resulted in a small increase in green space in downtown Seoul.
As you face the Han River, you can access it in various ways, and you can take a walk or bike path along the Han River, and it also connects to Cheonggyecheon Stream.
The most common method is to use Ttukseom Station, a public transportation line 2.
Seoul Forest Plaza, Ttukseom Culture and Arts Park, Natural Experience Learning Center, Ttukseom Ecology Forest, etc. are divided into distinct regions.
Elk and the Formosan deer are the most popular of all children.
It runs various experience programs, and many people participate in the weekend family reunions, which will be held on Saturday morning, as the whole family can enjoy it together.
Ttukseom Nanum Market, Beautiful Flea Market
Every Saturday from spring to fall, a flea market is held at the Ttukseom Recreation Area, which is adjacent to Seoul Forest.
Registering as a ‘jangdolbaenge’ via the Internet or on-site access to a market organized by a beautiful foundation allows anyone to bring and sell items that they do not use at home.
One unused item replaces the admission fee. Some of the proceeds after sale are donated, each of which is used for a set sharing theme.
It is a market that makes people think about the beauty of sharing and the value of the environment through recycling. In particular, children’s marketplaces where children bring their own products and sell them are popular.
