World Cup Stadium Hanuel Park

World Cup Stadium subway stop is famous in Seoul for being a great place for outdoor activities. It is surrounded by a plethora of different parks, each one unique in its own way. The parks range from lake parks, all the way to sky gardens on top of massive hills, that offer views of the entire city!
Today I went to the sky park with a friend who wanted a new profile picture. Honestly, I hadn't even heard about Hanuel Park before, but I can't express how glad I am to know about it now!
Directions to the park
The walk to get there from the subway station can possibly take a while depending on how busy that specific day is, and how fast you walk. It took us about 45 minutes (with some distractions) to get to the top, and we weren't rushing. However, it is a busy place, and the crowds can definitely influence how long it takes for you to reach the top!
It is also worth saying that despite the crowds, once you hit the top of the hill, it isn't as overcrowded as you might think. There are a lot of different areas to explore, and you can definitely find quite little areas if you wish.

It was rather windy today, but the weather held off and stayed warm. While not being the most pleasant, it definitely made for some amazing pictures! The whole top of the hill is covered in plants like these, along with different flower fields. One of the types of flowers that was there today was sunflowers! Unfortunately they have began to die off now, but they are still beautiful :)
It was about 6pm by this point and we were on our way back down to visit another of the parks. But it was at that time that the sun caught our eyes... The sun was dropping fast, colouring the sky a bright orange.

I don't think we could have asked for a better day or better view! The garden is located in a central part of Seoul, right next to the Han River, and amongst the bustling city. Every side of the garden has a different amazing view... You can see everything from here. Speaking of the views...

This is just one of the many different views you can see from Hanuel, but it is my personal favourite one!
