As Songpa-daero road cuts Seokchon Lake in half, the lake is shaped like a stretched-out "8." It is connected to Jamsil Station and Lotte World Tower, offering quick and easy access to the city center. Walking along the lake, visitors will find colorful murals, exhibition spaces, and lovely sculptures that will keep them entertained.
1. Taking a stroll on the walking trail
Seockchon Lake truly is a charming place that deserves its designation of being a "well-maintained shelter in the city center." It offers its own daytime charm as well as brings special beauty to the night in the evening. Each year, visitors look forward to the festivals that are held throughout the seasons. Above all, the view of Seokchon Lake at night is a classic itinerary item as visitors can see the beauty of Seoul at night in one sweeping glance. Seokchon Lake was formed through a merge between the West Lake and East Lake. It is approximately 2.5 km long, and it takes just over one hour to walk around the lake when walking at a leisurely pace. Lotte World Tower and Lotte World Mall are located near the East Lake while Lotte World Park is located near the West Lake. Walking along the path, visitors will be able to see Lotte World's fairytale-like palace and hear the sounds of people screaming and enjoying the rides.
There is also a public piano that anyone can use, so be sure not to just pass it by. Sometimes, if visitors are lucky, they will be able to hear a beautiful performance or they can offer other walkers a performance of their own.
2. Restaurants & Cafes JBout
JBout is a delightful cafe that can easily be spotted while walking along the lake. Visitors can enjoy the view of Seokchon Lake with a cup of coffee, a cold beer, or just about any other drink of choice along with baked goods, brunch, and even full-course meals. On sunny days, it is a popular place for couples to have a romantic lunch or dinner al fresco.
Songpa Tourist Information Center is located on the East Lake side of Seokchon Lake. It is a place where visitors can access a range of services, including tourist information on Korea, filing complaints or reporting any inconveniences regarding their experience in Korea, information on accommodations, and more. Not only are there useful brochures to plan a trip in Korea, but visitors can also check out Chromakey Photo Zone where they can take fun photos free of charge. Souvenirs and merchandise are available here as well. The information center also has staff members stationed on-site at all times, willing and ready to help with anything a tourist might need.
