SeokchonLakePark

SeokchonLakePark, located in Songpa-gu, Seoul, is widely known as a cherry blossom spot in spring. The park is divided into two areas, East Lake and West Lake, and a walking path is created along the entire lake. In particular, lights are added at night, creating a colorful display of cherry blossoms and surrounding scenery.

A lot of visitors flock here during the cherry blossom season. There are various people, including photographers with equipment, families, couples, and local residents out for a walk. People who set up tripods under trees illuminated by lights and those who quietly walk around the lake mix together. The lights installed along the lake are placed at regular intervals, and the brightness is not too bright, so it does not interfere with the walk.

The lake area is large, and the walking path is well-maintained, so even during busy times, people do not overlap much. However, during the peak cherry blossom season or on days when rain is forecast, the floating population increases rapidly, and it can feel crowded. Bringing in food or eating is not restricted, but there are not many trash cans, so simple preparations are required before visiting.

The cherry blossoms at Seokchon Lake Park are of uniform height, and there are various tree species in addition to cherry blossoms, so the overall scenery is not monotonous. It takes about an hour to walk around the lake, and there are chairs and rest areas here and there, so you can take a break in between.

This is not just a place to see flowers, but a place where you can enjoy a walk and appreciate the night view in a relatively natural environment within the city. It is a place that creates a different atmosphere throughout the four seasons, not just during the cherry blossom season, so it is worth visiting even in seasons other than spring.
