Haneul Sky Park

[Travelled in December 2015]

I want to go this, I want to go there, I want to be here, I want to go. There’s so many things in my mind every times I see nice photos of Korea. And, right now, another strike off my list – Haneul Sky Park.

I know, going to Haneul Sky Park during Autumn will be the best choice because its filled with Redwood Trees. Its so pretty. Honestly, I never a flower/plants/or trees or person. But, I love pretty things, and capture them into my camera 🙂 Beautiful things are always on my mind 🙂

Autumn was over, I’m not sure if the Redwood Trees are dying by then. Its a battle of 50-50 on whether I get to see a dying park or a redwood trees park haha. Since, its my first time going Korea on 2nd week of December… I think, there still might be a tiny little hope. (worried over cant see redwood trees are silly, but I really feel that, I might be disappointed too!)

#the stairs from far, yes, you need to climb the stairs. Honestly, pretty refreshing to do this in the morning.

#291 steps, not too much, not too little. Good enough to shed a little calories before our next meal (which was the lobster roll at Lobster Bar, Itaewon!)

#we took about 1hours around to take photos, walk around, rest a little. If only we had some hot drink will be awesome. I mean, something like Black Tea Latte? :p

Omg I am so jealous you were able to go there. We wanted to go there when we were in Seoul last November but it was raining for 90% of the time we were in Seoul ?. Thanks for posting directions ??

Hi Elle! You are welcome for the directions! 🙂 Oh, hope you get to go next time! November will be quite a good season to go!

Hi Hi, I didnt went too early, probably reach there around 9plus! 🙂 Maybe because i was there on a weekday? 🙂

Wow! Beautiful photos! I’m actually planning on going to Korea this november, and these really helped me put Haneul Park on top of my go-to list! I’m just wondering, are there any buses from the stadium directly to the park entrance?

Thank you 🙂

Oh, i always took train over instead 😉
i remember there’s a bus stop nearby but not sure. do you want to share with me which area u will be staying and i try to check for u 😉

Hello! My family and i plan to visit this place during summer but not sure where to visit after this park. Can i just ask if you still remember your itinerary for this day? Thank you! 🙂

Hi Hi!

Sorry for super late reply, i just got to see this comment now 🙂
Actually, there’s nothing much around this Park~~
I remembered going there early, and did my usual cafe/restaurant after that 😀

Hello! Great photos you have there:) Just wanna know when you traveled to Korea during that period, was it super cold?

Hi Hi! Thank you so much! Oh yes its really cold in December! 😀

tq for sharing.in my list too this November 2017. are you go there alone? 🙂

Hi Hi! Thank you for your kind word. I went there with my friends a few times 🙂

Hi, Thanks for introducing Haneul Park. As i am going this year dec to propose to my girlfriend this year, would like to ask if Haneul Park a good place? and where in Haneul Park would you recommend?

Hi Lok, Congrats to you in advance. But, I think Haneul Park in year end will not be this nice because most of the silver flower will be removed. Let me suggest for you.

You can consider this

Garden of the Morning Calm
http://hellosihui.com/2015/09/07/the-garden-of-morning-calm/

or

Theme Park – Everland
http://hellosihui.com/2015/11/26/everland-during-christmas/

All this places is quite crowded at night, photo taking might be an issue because I am very sure you wanted to document it down. But it will be very nice.

If your gf prefer more low profile, places like restaurant (NGrill at Namsam Tower)

🙂
