Even in winter, you can see geese friends~ The sight of them gliding on the ice is cute 🪿

Jamsilbeol, north of Seokchon Lake, used to be the Han River with a ferry port on the south side of West Lake, but as time passed, silt piled up and an artificial island was created, creating a new river that forms the Songpa River and Sincheon River that now pass through Seokchon Lake from under Gwangjingyo Bridge to Jamsil Baseball Stadium. In 1969, when the development of the riverbed of the main stream of the Han River began, the river was reclaimed, but part of it was left as a lake. In the early 1980s, the lake was maintained and turned into a park. With the opening of Songpa-daero, Songpanaru Park is divided into East Lake and West Lake with the same shape as Seokchon Lake. It is an ideal park with a lake and a park, and has a jogging course and walking path, so it is widely used as a resting place for citizens. Seoul Amusement Park and Lotte World's Magic Island are installed in West Lake, and nearby are Lotte World, Lotte Tower, and Hangang Park.

After visiting the Songpa Tourist Information Center to get the Korea Tourism Top 100 stamp certified, I looked around Seokchon Lake. Seokchon Lake is divided into East Lake and West Lake, which represent Songpa-gu, Seoul. The view from West Lake with Lotte World Tower in the background is impressive. You can walk 2.5km around the lake, and it is famous for its cherry blossoms in spring.😃😃😃
