Around Seoul : Ttukseom Hangang Park, Gyeongbokgung, Namsan Tower

So last weekend my friend and I decided to go around Seoul. The first thing on my list is to go to Ttukseom Hangang Park (뚝섬한강공원). My classmate from my Korean class told me that there is a sledding hill in there, where we can slide through the snow hill by tube. So, without much thinking on Sunday my friend and I went to the Ttukseom Hangang Park. To get there, you can use subway, and get off at Ttukseom Resort station (line 7), exit 2.

To enter the Ttukseom Snow Sledding park (뚝섬 눈썰매장), you have to pay 6,000KRW, and the thing is, there isn’t time limit, so you can practically enjoy your time in the park until you are tired.

After we are done, we went to the nearest convenience store to buy ramyeon (라면) and skewered chicken (꼬치) as our lunch.

super good!!!!

Our next destination is Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁). To get here by subway, you can get off at Gyeongbokgung station (line 3). To enter the palace, you have to pay 3,000 KRW per person. Usually, there are some performances in here. Also, every Tuesday, Gyeongbokgung is closed, so you better not to go here on that day if you want to go inside this palace.

Cool, isn't it?

Done with taking pictures in Gyeongbokgung Palace, we went to Namsan Tower. To get there, we went to Myeongdong by subway (Myeongdong Station (line 4, exit 4)) and then we went to the bus stop. To get into Namsan Tower from Myeongdong, you can take Bus (Namsan 05).

When we got there, there is Korean Music Performance and we can try to wear hanbok for free. If you want to go to the top of this tower, you have to pay 10,000 KRW per person, or if you don’t want to, you can just go around and enjoy the view. Also, if you are Korean drama lovers, you should recognize this place as the place where people lock their “love padlocks.”

super cute~^^
