Abraham Gardner
★★★★★2 weeks agoGyeongui Line Forest Park is a really relaxing spot right in the middle of the city. I liked how easy it was to slow down here, with plenty of cafés and places to grab a bite nearby if you want to make a day of it. It also felt very welcoming for pets, which was a nice bonus.
Xin Jia Wang
★★★★★4 months agoWow what a beautiful place to take a walk. It is quite a long walk path. So peaceful and right off the busy Hongdae areas. Lots of food nearby. Some portions busier than others with street performers. Orher parts of the path are very quiet. Clean.
