โ โ โ โ โ 3 months agoFor sure an idea place to have a chill time. Quite a bit things to do, slow walk, picnic, street food stalls, cruise, live music, or simply cook the instant noodles from the convenience store. Easy to access with subway, I went during sunset time, just enjoy the time by the river and observe the colour of sky changed. Highly recommend to add this to your Seoul trip.

โ โ โ โ โ 4 months agoA famous and crowded picnic area to enjoy sunset while eating hot cup ramen during winter. There was BTS comeback exhibition as well so overly crowded and well lighted with purple, pink and all the lighting. Enjoy the cup rame from nearby convenience store with snacks from food stall all around Mattress, small table are available for rent.
