The 18th Seoul Silver Grass Festival will be held for seven days, from October 18-24, 2019 at Haneul Park in Sangam-dong, Seoul. Admission is free and international tourists are welcome. During the festival, the park will be open at night, too. Diverse types of lighting in the field will allow visitors to enjoy the unparalleled beauty of silver grass at night.
Silver grass fully blooms in October. Haneul Park, part of World Cup Park, hosts a silver grass festival that is open at night so that visitors can relish in the field silver grass illuminated by different types of lighting, as well as the beautiful night landscape of Seoul. As an ecological park, Haneul Park is usually closed in the evening for wildlife preservation. The one-week festival is the only exception, during which citizens and visitors alike can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, strolling through the fields of silver grass. In addition, the festival offers a variety of performances and events that visitors can truly enjoy in an eco-friendly environment, irrespective of differences in age, gender, or social class. It is recognized as the city’s most representative cultural festival widely cherished by citizens and visitors. Join us and enjoy the leisure of everyday life in Seoul and the atmosphere of Korean autumn amid the expansive fields of silver grass in Haneul Park.
The Haneul Stairway in Sangam boasts a total of 291 steps that must be climbed in order to reach the hilltop. Besides walking up the stairs, visitors can also take the eco-friendly Maengkkongi Electric Train to reach the summit. If you don’t feel like walking up the stairs, taking the train is a comfortable and economical alternative. You can also put your baggage in a designated space right beside the train operator’s seat!
In this fast-changing digital age, we barely send or receive handwritten letters. The city has installed a “slow mailbox” in the middle of such a digital society to awaken the meaning of waiting and to offer visitors the opportunity to create precious memories. Visit Haneul Park Information Center to get postcards free of charge. Write down your feelings for your loved ones. You can write down some messages wishing luck to your friends, as well! The postcards collected from the mailbox are delivered twice a year, once during the Lunar New Year Holidays and once during the Chuseok Holidays. Why not share the love you feel at Haneul Park with the people you miss the most?
