Traveler reviews
Jacob Shuster
β β β β β a year agoBeautiful tiny park with an incredible shrine and stunning views of the city. I will definitely be coming back for sunset and to see it at night. Sadly the shrine itself is padlocked shut, but I was able to peak inside through the large crack in the door and get a nice photo of some of the inside. During the middle of the day it was empty, peaceful, with a chorus of cicadas buzzing. Really a great place to just stop for 30 minutes and relax. There is a separate playground 10 feet away for children.

β β β β β 3 years agoVery nice tranquil space great for photos in the sunset. Can see NamSan Tower in the back and also the town below NamSan Tower looks like favelas. Very beautiful. It's a bit of a hike following the uphill road from itaewon, but well worth it.
