YONGyangbongjeojeong Park

A panoramic view of Yeouido and Yongsan

It’s the perfect place for a weekend date walk! There is a rest area with a nice view and there are play facilities for children, so it's a good place to visit with families. There are also beautifully decorated installations like photo zones, making it great for taking pictures. The atmosphere is cozy, and you feel healed as you walk!

It's great for a walk and there's a lot to see.

If you go on a clear day, the view is great and the walking trail is well-maintained.

The winter in Seoul is as cold as the weather these days. There are many people who want to make warmer memories in times like these, right? So today, I would like to introduce a date spot in Seoul that is really worth visiting. This is Yongyangbongjeojeong Park, where you can view Seoul and the Han River from a small hill. It is a special place because it is like a hidden treasure that not many people know about.

After eating, I suddenly went for a walk and it was so healing. The walking path is not that difficult, and you can easily climb up without getting out of breath! You can see the wonderful night view even if you don’t go all the way up! The downside is that there is no space to park on weekends and the road to enter and exit is steep, so cars are parked so that they can barely pass by, and they just double park here and there as they come in, so parking is the worst on weekend evenings! If you are inexperienced at driving, especially do not bring a car... There are sometimes spaces in the alley before you come in, so it's much more convenient to park there if you're coming on the weekend! It was a bit inside, so I asked for two cars to double park to get out, but there wasn't enough space to turn around, so it took a very long time to go back and forth. If you park inside, it will be a bit of a headache. Other than parking, it's really great!

Yongyangbongjeojeong Park is a pavilion where King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty stayed while paying his respects to his father, Crown Prince Sado. It is now loved as a place for citizens to take a walk and relax. The Sky Observatory at the top of the park offers panoramic views of the Han River and downtown Seoul, making it a particularly popular night view spot. It is a hidden attraction where you can feel both a quiet atmosphere and historical significance. It is located a 5-minute walk from Exit 3 of Nodeul Station, making it highly accessible.  

This park is located between Nodeul Station and Heukseok Station on Line 9 and has a top-notch view of the Han River! I've written a brief description in the order of the photos as follows. ① Thumbnail (Sky Observatory) ② Park entrance ③ Rabbits and trees at the entrance of the park, a place where lights come on beautifully after evening. ④ Park entrance playground ⑤ Park entrance: drinking fountain (left), restroom building and walking path (middle), shadow photo zone (right) ⑥ Bird drawn in the photo zone ⑦ Sign in the middle of the park ⑧ Road to the Sky Observatory ⑨ Gap observatory and wooden swing on the way up ⑩~⑪ Sky Observatory ⑫ Road to the summit observatory behind the Sky Observatory (left), Wooden swing (right) ⑬ Drinking fountain right next to it ⑭ Road up to the summit observatory ⑮ Summit observatory ⑯~⑲ Hangang river view from the summit observatory ⑳ Exercise equipment located down the road opposite the observatory
