The '~Do' series is great no matter what season you visit, including a greenhouse where you can warm up for a moment with the warm warmth even in the Korean weather, snow that fell a few days ago, reeds, bamboo, and the Han River! One day full of solar energy, facing the sun.

Seonyudo's garden where you can feel the hand of landscape architect Jeong Young-seon. The site, which used to be a water purification plant, is used as is and is decorated with natural and pretty nature-friendly landscaping. The sky turns red at sunset and the autumn leaves turn beautifully, creating a feeling of fall. It is a leisurely and peaceful park where your mind can be purified and healed.

It's a nicer and more wonderful place than expected. I am proud that there is a place like this among the Han River parks. Thank you, Young-seon Jeong, who sacrifices her life to take care of this land so that people can see, walk, and feel nature in its original state along with Saetgang.

Seonyudo, a small peak island located in the center of the Han River, has long been a place with outstanding scenery and has been loved by artists and poets. However, during the Japanese colonial period, Seonyubong's old appearance disappeared, and from 1978 to 2000, it was used as a water purification plant to supply tap water to the southwestern area of ​​Seoul. In April 2002, it was regenerated into an eco-friendly ecological park that offers a variety of attractions and enjoyment. Seonyudo Park consists of a story hall, green pillar garden, water purification center, four circular spaces, and Seonyudo Observatory. The Story Hall was created by recycling a rectangular water pump room and is an exhibition space containing the history and culture of Seonyudo Island and the Han River. The Green Pillar Garden is a garden where the concrete top roof of Jeongsuji was removed, leaving only the pillars.

Seonyudo is a newly opened park where Seoul City's water purification and supply facilities used to be located. It is located in the middle of the Yanghwa Bridge over the Han River, so it is a park with good air and a great view. Instead of completely dismantling the facilities at the time, some of them were recycled and transformed into a park, and some facilities and equipment, such as large water valves, are being displayed and recycled. It is also popular as a date spot for couples and a photo shoot location. It is also a good point for wedding photos for married couples. It is a place that will be left in better shape as the years go by. In the past, Seonyudo was not originally an island. Seonyudo, formerly called Seonyubong, was one of the scenic spots on the Han River.

Seonyudo Park is not just a place to walk, but a place to stay🩵The moment the sunlight spreads over the water, you can already create an emotional photo without even holding a camera, and the view unfolds like a painting wherever your eyes reach👍The walking path is smooth, so your steps are natural, and you walk slowly while only listening to the sound of the wind. Especially at sunrise and sunset, the moment when light surrounds you, there is no need for words🥰 Even the beginning of the day. Seonyudo Park is a beautiful place even at the end of the day🩵💚 Seonyudo Park is a space that leads the mind to rest💜

Seonyudo Park is great for a walk. There are beautiful flowers and trees in the greenhouse. It's quite spacious and there's space to sit in between, and it's nice that it's connected to Yanghwa Hangang Park by a bridge. If a park like this were located nearby, the quality of life would inevitably improve. I recommend it.

This is a great place to take pictures from the bridge with Yeouido in the background. Around the end of the year and New Year, the sun rises behind Yeouido, making it a famous place for those who want to take sunrise photos. There is a bus stop right in front, so it is easily accessible, so I think it would be a good place to stop by at least once.

I went to Seonyudo Park, a rest area in the city located in the middle of Yanghwa Bridge. The open view on the way to the park across the arched bridge across the Han River refreshed my frustrated heart. As the park was built as an old water purification plant, the old concrete structures and green plants create a strange harmony, creating a unique and exotic atmosphere that cannot be felt in other parks. In particular, as I slowly walked along the pillars wrapped in vine plants and the walking path along the waterway, it felt like it was a park. I felt calm and serene, as if I had stepped into a frozen time. It had a quiet beauty rather than a flashy attraction, so it was a perfect place to quietly sit on a bench and enjoy contemplation or take a camera and take pictures.
