This unique park is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, especially during the spring and autumn seasons when the wildflowers are in full bloom.
What to Expect at Haneul Park
Haneul Park is on top of a hill, so you'd need to hike for about 30 minutes to get there. There's an option to take a shuttle from the parking lot. The cost is very minimal, around KRW2,000 or less for a one-way trip, which I opted for and then I did the hike on the way down.

Once you arrive at Haneul Park, you'll be greeted by a vast expanse of rolling hills covered in wildflowers. The park is especially beautiful during the spring and autumn seasons when the flowers are in full bloom. I went during summer and it was quite nice too. There are some art installations which make for photo spots. Several walking paths windd through the park, offering stunning views of the Han River and the city skyline.
If you're a fan of BTS RM, then Haneul Park is a must-visit destination as he went Namjooning here. He even posted a photo, which I sort of recreated.
