South Korea: Seongdong-gu: Things to do in Seoul Forest


Seoul Forest, where most locals go.  Where students not just kids are spending their outdoor class, there are also high school students doing their artwork under the ginkgo trees.


1. Visit UnderStand Avenue
These container trucks are not just available in Common Ground, but can also be seen in Seoul Forest Station Exit 3 or Exit 4.  Apart from restaurants and coffee shops, there are specialty stores where you can window shop.






2. Smell the flora


3. Appreciate the sculptures scattered at the park








5. Experience Autumn
Capture the autumn photos of ginkgo trees that are pretty much close to each other.






Plus, chat with your pals under the maple trees.







6. Playground
This place has a very tall slide which makes it like a playground for adults than for the kids.

7. Fauna Exploration
There is a zoo area with deer that you can visit too.

8. Remember the K-Drama Filming Location: K2 tvN


Temperature of Love (SBS, Oct 2017) Ep 11
The park where On Jung-seon (Yang Se-jong, chef-owner of Good Soup) and Hyun-soo (Seo Hyun-jin, aspiring screenwriter) were running.  The same site where Choi Won-joon (Shim Hee-seob, sous chef) and other colleagues Kim Ha-sung (Cha In-ha, chef), Kang Min-ho (P.O, chef), and Oh Kyung-soo (Lee Kang-min, chef) were also running.



9.  Capture those feet on "was here" photos.
Apart from I SEOUL U sculpture, there are other Seoul Forest and "Hi Seoul" markings on the ground that you can capture.
