A Stroll Through Olympic Park's Peace Plaza and a Taste of Cheongwaok

#cityplaybook The plaza itself is a captivating part of Olympic Park. Currently, it's also a fantastic spot to see souvenirs and symbols of the 2024 Gangwon Olympics, adding a fresh touch to its historical significance. As you stroll along, you'll be greeted by an impressive display of flags from all the nations that participated in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. It's quite a sight, especially on a windy day, to see them all fluttering in unison. You'll even spot flags of countries that no longer exist, like East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union, offering a poignant reminder of past times. After exploring the plaza, if you're craving some authentic Korean flavors, I highly recommend a visit to Cheongwaok, located just across the street. This popular restaurant specializes in sundaeguk (blood sausage soup) and is known for its long queues. To avoid a lengthy wait, it's best to use a queuing app (like Catch Table, which it seemed to be on) to secure your spot in advance and confirm your waiting status once you arrive at the restaurant. #strolling #streetwalk
