You can take a leisurely walk. It's not crowded and you can feel the fall.

You can take a walk through the well-opened trails from Seodaemun-gu to Mangwon Hangang Park^^ It's been a while since I went out for a walk, and it was nice that the day was cool and not hot for the first time in a long time. I met a lot of duck families and had a nice walk!! 🦆🐤

I often go to Hongjecheon for a walk when I have a lot to think about. The road to the Han River is well-made and the scenery along the way is good, so I feel at ease~~😊 When it's warm, there are a lot of people, but the road is wide, so it's not uncomfortable! There are a lot of ducks and strange animals (birds?) passing by, so it's fun to look at them haha.

Although the temperature has risen slightly compared to yesterday, Hongjecheon still embraces the spirit of winter. The thin ice on the water tells us the speed of the season. A quiet stream under the bridge, time flowing between dried grass and stones. The seasons always change a beat later, so we learn to wait. It's a cold day, but stopping and looking at the scenery like this makes today stronger. Spring is definitely coming. It's just a little slow.

This is the view of Hongjecheon Stream I encountered on my morning walk. It was bitterly cold until a few days ago, but today the air was much softer than winter. Even in the cold season, the water flows quietly, and a duck floats leisurely on the water's edge, drawing gentle waves. When I look at that image quietly, my mind becomes calm. Water flows like time under the bridge that crosses Hongje Stream, and the steps of people walking on the promenade are leisurely. The colors of winter have faded, but silence and peace seem to have taken their place. It was a morning where both nature and people could take a moment to catch their breath as the season relaxed slightly.

It's been a while since I visited Hongjecheon~~🏃 It's not too hot or too cold, so it's perfect for a walk in the evening! I usually walk along the Hongjecheon Trail to Hangang Park. The scenery along the way was so pretty that I felt like it was worth it after a long time^^~ I need to come often before it gets too hot😊

I walked along Hongjecheon in the morning. The scenery and reflection on the water was truly beautiful. The sky, bridges, and trees were layered on the calm water, making me stop for a while. Today was a particularly thoughtful morning. The seasons flow without change, and we are now in the middle of winter. In the cold air, Hongjecheon is quiet for a moment, as if taking a breath. But when spring comes, this place will come alive again. You will see large and small fish swimming around in the clear water, and their silver scales sparkling in the sunlight.

Hongjecheon Stream has recently been improved to make it suitable for walking, so it's perfect. It is not crowded, and walkers, runners and cyclists spend the day in harmony. One lap is about 3 km long, so two laps makes for a pleasant jogging course. In spring, poppies and green barley were planted in abundance, making it a much prettier and reorganized place, so it was a pleasure to walk around.
