Seoul Forest

서울숲

Seongsu-dong, Seoul · 서울

A former racecourse and water park on the Han, replanted in 2005 with an avenue of plane trees, a deer enclosure, wetlands and a bridge out over the river.

Why it’s worth it

The plane-tree avenue is the single most filmed stretch of park in Seoul. It backs directly onto Seongsu, so pair it with the cafés on the same walk.
