Seokchon Lake,

Get in Some Healing Time

Another charming aspect of Jamsil as a travel destination is its close vicinity to nature. Seokchon Lake, located among a series of high-rise buildings, offers refreshing and restorative energy to people undergoing exhaustion from city life or those traveling around on foot.

Seokchon Lake is a popular date spot boasting seasonal ambience throughout the year. Rows of cherry blossoms bloom around the lake in the spring, and lush tree leaves provide shade along the trail in the summer. As the year passes, the lake displays varying shades of autumn colors in the fall, while snow-covered trees create wonderful landscape in the winter. Occasionally, it hosts public art installations, such as the Rubber Duck and Super Moon, in the middle of the lake.

Seokchon Lake is divided into the east lake that features the Songpa Tourist Information Center, meeting plaza, and Lotte World Tower, and the west lake that features Lotte World Adventure, a waterfront stage, and recreation grounds. Take a slow stroll along the large trees surrounding the peaceful lake and follow the trail to the end as it leads to other areas in Jamsil full of even more exciting things to do and food to indulge in.
