Day 7: Rain Stopped

Yippeee! The rain stopped! We could finally make our way to Yeouido Park. We took a slow stroll over from Yeouido station. :D Along the way we spotted a rainbow colored fish sculpture. :)

After which we needed to cross a 12-lane road.

The park is divided into theme-based sections: the Traditional Korean Forest, Grass Square, Culture Square, and Nature’s Ecosystem Forest. We didn't manage to cover the whole park though.

I've read that one of the must-see area is the Yunjunro Street, behind the National Assembly Building as it has the loveliest cherry blossom street in Seoul. Cherry blossom trees, 30 to 40 years old, line up to a stretch of 6km.

The park is lovely during autumn as well. :)

I was attracted by the wheels signage which designated a pedestrian walkway & a cycling path. :)

I would love to cycle around the park too! :)

We heart the rows of ginkgo trees. Don't you? :)

IFC Seoul is just across from Yeouido Park.

The berries added Christmas cheer to the park. :) I know it's still some time more to go. :)

While Tina & I were happily capturing the sights, beanie, mom & Lin took five. :)))

Another pic of Lin. Here's her under the yellow ginkgo trees.

Tina under the red maple trees.

And me. :) Thank God for clearing the sky and allowing us to witness His marvellous creation.

Yeouido Park is the last destination of our Seoul travel itineary. We needed to head back to Times Square for dinner, back to Courtyard to freshen up & to the airport to catch our flight back home.
