Located in the heart of Seoul, is an escape from the bustle of city life, without having to leave the city. Seoul Forest holds a special place in Dojeon team member, Lewis', heart and he tells you why you must visit this hidden nature gem when visiting Seoul! Photo: Seoul Forest A great thing about Seoul Forest for me is that it is easy to access from any of the subway lines in central Seoul, and nearby are many bars, cafes, and restaurants since it is close to a big university area. Popular K-drama "My Demon" was filmed in Seoul Forest! (SBS) Although you can purchase drinks at a convenience store and vending machines while you are at Seoul Forest, I would strongly advise bringing a drink with you, and perhaps some snacks as the places you can purchase them on-site are few and far between, especially in the summer months. Photo: Seoul Forest Seoul Forest is also home to some deer, which you can look at close up, which is a fantastic experience. Don't worry, they are fenced off. Next to the deer, you will also notice some rabbits, guinea pigs, and other fluffy friends to enjoy your time with! If animals are not for you, and you would rather soak in the atmosphere, you can enjoy walking around its seasonal maze, lake, and bamboo area. Not only, do I find these spots peaceful and photogenic, but I also find them an escape from normal life. Photo: Seoul Forest Throughout the forest, you will notice outdoor exercise equipment and many benches to stop and rest at. Each time I have been to Seoul Forest I have always come back home with a smile. I think it is great to have so much nature in the heart of the city, and when you are in Seoul Forest, it does not feel like you are in the middle of a mega city. Seoul Forest is completely free, which means there is no admission fee! This makes visiting here even more enjoyable! Fun facts: Seoul Forest, officially opened on June 18, 2005, covering an area of 350,000 ping. Seoul Forest used to be the king's hunting ground and parade ground. After experiencing environmental changes and artificial transformation, it has been used as a racecourse and golf course. Because of its good ecological environment, it was selected as the first tap water source in Seoul. Seoul Forest has 5 rich and diverse theme parks, namely "Culture and Art Park", "Ecological Garden", "Wetland Ecological Garden", "Nature Experience Learning Park", and "Han River Waterside Park". A large-scale lawn has also been developed in Seoul Forest, covering an area of 8,000 ping, as a resting place for citizens and tourists. The forest area reaches 45,000 pings for wild animals to inhabit, and you can see many wild animals here. Among them, there are also outdoor stages for performances and events.
