Yangjae Citizen’s Forest park is one of the parks in Seoul with the best sight of cherry blossoms. The park is not that popular to foreign visitors but it is known to locals as a common picnic ground. And who else will not like sitting under the shades of the trees of cherry blossom, ginkgo, maple, wild flowers and other plants?

I so loved the array of cherry blossoms here and if you haven’t visited it yet in spring, you’ve got to plan it out. I promise you, you will also be captivated by the beauty of this scenery. Hence, I revisited the forest park a day ago and I am again totally mesmerized by the beauty of autumn foliage. Really it is one of the best park this season to stroll around.

Cherry blossoms in spring.

There’s not much of special attractions here but it is indeed splendid this season because of the spell of autumn colors, the crisp autumn colors!

Located at Yangjae Citizen’s Forest in Red line of Seoul subway station and head to exit 5. Cross the road and enjoy walking under the magical autumn foliage. It isn’t that big so you can take your time walking and take more pictures you wanted.

Autumn is on its peak! It’s again the best time for outdoor walk and to enjoy this season with crisp cool air. Well, actually it’s now getting colder everyday and very soon the spell of winter will blow in. The weather was fine and the sun shines brightly yesterday when I had another visit again in Seoul Forest park.

This park as the third largest in Seoul is a also a must visit in spring, well I believe in all seasons I guess. Every year, there are additional attractions and reasons to come here. Apparently, we’ll never know what awaits in our visit. Just like this years’ spring where I stumbled upon the tulips garden and it’s really beautiful.

As I walked and walked around the park, I really enjoyed the stunning beauty of autumn foliage here. So much to see and explore like the Eco Forest part. The ginko, maple and cherry (blossoms) trees are all in vibrant colors. Leaves that falls on the ground are even prettier to look at.

Indeed, fall is just another spring. And because I visited last Wednesday, a weekday, as expected only few people are around. Most of the time when you visit on weekends it’s always crowded. Still, hence the park is literally huge you will for sure manage to find a spot for your instagrammable photo.

There it goes, my landscape photos taken with my GoPro hero6 only. For location, no worries this park is so easy to find and accessible thru Seoul subway Yellow Line or Bundang Line. The name of the park is the name if the subway station itself, so it’s not hard to remember, Seoul Forest Park station head to exit 3 or (you can use the elevator) walk a few steps on your right then you will find the entrance after passing Understand Avenue.

Halloween is approaching, let me guess…. you’re costume’s on, am I right? For kids, candies and chocolates or rather trick or treating are what they are looking forward to. Yet, for adults dressing up it is! Might not be all but admit it, it’s fun doing it so with friends. In Seoul, Itaewon and Hongdae’s club are always hosting a halloween party with the selection of best costume most of the time and these places are best if you really wanted to experience that party thing.

If not and you just wanted to experience fine dining in a halloween atmosphere, you might like checking out this witch themed restaurant, the Witch’s Kitchen at Hyewha station. They actually have branches at Hongdae, Sinchon, and Gangnam too. My Friends and I untimely come for this marvel, we just intentionally looked for a place to satisfy our belly and we tried it out. Never knowing that we were able to experience an early halloween treat and here’s what we got…

Not literally freaky yet spooky. A non alcoholic drink in IV injection that flows to the iced glass, tastes sweet actually. We had pasta with tomb shaped bread on top, a creamy one. We weren’t expecting that the resto was this perky. The staff are dolled up like Chucky.

Menu book is in a newspaper form and looks really cute. Witch’s Kitchen offers varieties of food selection but mainly pizza and pasta.

Take pleasure enjoying the food and spooky atmosphere you can dine in in your selected halloween costume, and even not halloween at Witch’s Kitchen…just take line 4 get off at Hyewha station and head to exit 4, it’s just next to the CGV movie house.

A lovely day spent walking along the cosmos trail! Indeed a wak to the clouds as I climbed up through the stairs of Namsan park from Namdaemun market. Luckily, there was a festival going on last weekend and the flowers, roses particularly was displayed charmingly. Visitors once again, both locals and tourists were lined up taking pictures.

To this date, the festival and rose display ended but the attractive orange cosmos flowers are still on its peak. In addition, the fortress and sunset sight should not be missed of you are in Seoul this autumn season.

I so love this dainty little flower in autumn and it also comes in different colors in some other parts of Seoul. If yu want to take stroll in this park it is easily reachable from Line 4, Hoeyeon station, exit 4.Just follow the sign from the station When you’re out of exit 4, walk a few steps and turn left to the first corner. Walk straight to the end of the alley, it’s actually going up and about 5minutes or so. The way alley will lead you to the entrance of th park after crossing the big pedestrian. Here are the festival pictures and what awaits you from the top.

Enjoy your stroll and please share this link for others to know this beautiful place too.

As we chased the beautiful cherry blossoms around Seoul, I stumbled upon this article about an old railroad park with pictures of beautiful sakuras in full bloom. Looking forward for this picturesque view we headed to this once disused railroad to see it for ourselves.

Luckily, cherry blossoms are still pleasing in sight and there was a festival going on when we visited. Lots of people as usual and children were countless running and playing. In a way, we still manage to take tons of nice pictures.

The old trains on display were the major attractions to visitors and there were some young Koreans who dressed up that matches the ambience of the place. Feels like you were from a different era. Such a nice idea for photography lovers.
