It rains almost every day in Korea during the recent rainy season It's a rare good day, so of course we have to go out and take beautiful photos If you want to take a photo like under the blue sky, you must go to Seoul Grand Park! Seoul Grand Park 📍 102 Line 4, Grand Park Station, Exit 2 09:00-19:00 The Grand Park has a zoo, a large garden, Seoul World (Seoul Land), etc., all of which require additional admission. If you don’t want to go to the paid areas, you can also see the beautiful landscape by taking a walk in the big park! There are large tracts of woods and lakes in the big park, and the reflections are super beautiful It takes me about an hour and a half to walk around the park. If you go to the paid park, it may take most of the day to a whole day! I suggest that if you want to go, you can walk around the park. The journey is much easier and Koreans also walk there. If you have difficulty in moving, there are elephant carts available for you to ride. The author recommends that if you don't want to go to the amusement park (Seoul Land), you can pay to go to the big garden. Every spring and summer, the large area of ​​roses attracts many people! Moreover, it is very close to the lake, and there are many kinds of animals such as sheep and lions that can be visited up close. The admission fee is only more than HK$20, which is great value for money! Those who like animals can also pay to go to the zoo. The park is very large and you can find all kinds of animals 🦁🐯🦊🐻🐰🐒🐔🐴 The park has an open-air cable car, but the price is a bit expensive. I recommend you take it once because it is just across the lake and the scenery is super magnificent. In fact, the Grand Duchy is super beautiful in all four seasons and the scenery is very different. It is also especially suitable for family travel! The kids will love it! #KoreaTravel #OverseasTravel #SeoulTravel #Seoul #SeoulGrandPark #SeoulCheck-inHotspots

Situated at the foot of Cheonggyesan Mountain, the basic scenery is artistic, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so it was a really beautiful place to eat! The pure white cherry blossoms were beautiful, but the cherry blossoms were my first time seeing them, and the colors were really pretty! The meal at the courtyard was also really neat, and it felt right when combined with the fluttering cherry blossoms. A delicious place, a place that is pleasing to the eye, and above all, a place where you can find sentimental props everywhere and take a picture to remember💕 #KoreanFood #DeliciousMeal #Cheonggyesan #TailCafeKoreanSetMeal #CherryBlossomRestaurant

#seoul When visiting Seoul, add the Seoul Grand Park to your bucketlist especially if you are travelling with kids along with you. This place houses a vast species of animals. You will surely enjoy sight-seeing and learning at the same time as animals are named, classified, by their breed, habitat, and the ecosystem to which they belong. The zoo showcases exotic birds, dolphins, lions, elephants, giraffes, gorillas, and a lot more. Tours usually include this in their itinerary so you can hop in and enjoy taking photos for keepsakes. If you are an animal lover like me, this is your chance to watch these animals closer.

Address: Gwacheon Seoul Grand Park Atmosphere/Facilities: Flowers will likely be in full bloom next week Rather than going to see animals, it's a 3-4 hour outing course Key points: 3 rides are recommended for the lift (the line at the second boarding area is too long to ride, so walk up slowly while looking around) If you have a stroller, etc., it's better to wait for a 4 ride^^ It's more convenient to buy with the QR code next to the lift ticket booth, and it's 2,000 won cheaper than buying offline Please note that it will arrive via KakaoTalk within 10 minutes, not via text message There's not much to eat inside the zoo, so even if it's inconvenient, be sure to bring something to eat. Average price per person: Parking fee (Be sure to pay in advance, it's cheap and convenient) Rating: 8 points because the flowers haven't bloomed yet

📍Seoul Grand Park Zoo (102 Daegongwon Gwangjang-ro, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do) It was my first time going to Seoul Grand Park Zoo, and I was surprised because it was bigger than I thought. 🤭 I walked around a lot, but I couldn't see all the animals. There were many animals that are hard to see, and there were cherry blossoms in full bloom everywhere, so there was a lot to see. There were also many food courts and places that sold snacks, so it was good to eat something light when I was hungry. I especially recommend going to the lion cafe! It's made of glass, so you can spend time in a place where you can see the lions. 🦁 #HotPlace #Seoul #SeoulGrandPark #Zoo #UniqueDate

Lounge D, a cafe and restaurant inside the Gwacheon National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art!

➰Seoul Grand Park Seoul Grand Park Zoo in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do is a popular place for outings because it is large and has many animals❗️You can meet animals you only saw on TV, such as tigers, squirrels, and giraffes. In the cold winter, some animals go into the indoor exhibition hall. I heard that it is difficult to visit the indoor exhibition hall on weekends due to COVID-19. I recommend checking the regulations and visiting:) 📍 102 Daegongwon Gwangjang-ro, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do #Gwacheon #Places to visit in Gwacheon #Zoo #Seoul Grand Park

#WinterTravel I went to Cheonggyesan Mountain to welcome spring, but it was still winter? No, I was even freezing… haha, no, I almost died^^ ✔ Biting wind + icicles frozen in the shape of trees → got hit in the face💥 ✔ Slipped dozens of times on the icy road → My sliding skills are at max level ✔ My yellow shoes that fell into the mud → dyed a pretty brown But still, the beautiful scenery made me like hiking again. It was cold, it was hard, but I was still happy. And so… spring came. 🌿✨
