#cityplaybook #localguides #postandearn Nestled at the foot of Bugaksan Mountain in Jongno-gu, Samcheong Park (삼청공원) is one of Seoul’s oldest and most tranquil green spaces. Established in 1940, it holds the distinction of being Korea’s first designated park. The name “Samcheong” translates to “three purities,” reflecting the Taoist ideals of clear sky, clean water, and pure heart. The park is renowned for its seasonal beauty—cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant foliage in autumn. Visitors can explore well-maintained hiking trails that connect to the Seoul Fortress Wall Trail and lead to the Malbawi Observatory, offering panoramic views of downtown Seoul. Amenities include a forest library, cafés, acupressure walking paths, exercise equipment, badminton and tennis courts, a playground, and a convenience store. These facilities make it a popular destination for both relaxation and physical activity. Located near cultural landmarks such as Gyeongbokgung Palace and the National Folk Museum of Korea, Samcheong Park is easily accessible from Anguk Station (Line 3). Its proximity to the artistic neighborhood of Samcheong-dong, known for its galleries, boutiques, and traditional hanok houses, adds to its appeal. Whether you're seeking a peaceful hike, a family outing, or a cultural experience, Samcheong Park offers a harmonious blend of nature and history in the heart of Seoul. #SamcheongPark #SeoulNature #HistoricSeoul #BugaksanTrails #CherryBlossomsSeoul #SeoulHiking #VisitSeoul #Samcheongdong #SeoulFortressWall #UrbanOasis
