Winter Wonderland at Seoul National University

Experience Seoul National University’s Winter Magic ❄️🏛️
Step into the intellectual heart of Korea at Seoul National University, where last year’s record snowfall turned the campus into a snowy wonderland—an inspiring backdrop to Korea’s brightest minds and breathtaking modern architecture.

Start at the Gyujanggak Library (599, Gwanak-ro; open Mon–Fri 9:30–17:30), a hub of scholarly tradition surrounded by frozen trees—a snowy stroll here is a must for beautiful landscape shots. Next, wander over to SNU Bldg 302: Engineering Building #2, its angular geometry shimmeringly offset by pristine powdered snow. Head to the Concert Hall (#49) for a unique scene: snow-drenched steps leading up to glass-fronted cultural vibes. Don’t skip the Main Grass Court—when blanketed in white, it transforms into a stunning natural canvas, perfect for “modern man in the snow” photos. Snap a few close-ups here with faculty buildings rising behind to capture that campus culture-meets-nature look.
Wrap up at Central Library (Bldg #62, 1 Gwanak-ro; open to 21:00 Mon–Fri), where you can warm up inside before stepping out for those magical twilight campus shots under snowy trees.

Tips:
Wear sturdy anti-slip boots — campus paths get icy fast! Timing is everything: snowfall after midday offers unbeatable lighting, with sunbeams filtering through clouds for extra Insta appeal. Keep electronics warm and dry, as the weather shifts quickly. Also, to enter the campus, several buses are available, including Bus 5511, 5516, 5513, Gwanak 2-1, and Gwanak 2-2.

Precautions:
Pathways can get slippery; avoid distractions while walking in snow. Most buildings open on weekdays—plan around library or concert schedules if you want indoor snaps.
