[4K] Colorful Seoul Evening Walk at Seokchon Lake Park Autumn Festival | 단풍과 함께하는 석촌호수 송파나루공원 단풍낙엽축제

Hello, This is Walk Together.
Today’s walk is Seokchon lake in Songpa Naru Park. Now, Autunn Festival for fall foliage is going on and you can many colorful lights are on with trees. So, I started walking from evening till night. This park has west and east lake and lotte world in the middle of the lake. The round-trip route usually takes about 45min to 1 hour. It is easy walk, but you can see a lot of beautiful colors while walking. Let’s walk together!

안녕하세요? Walk Together 입니다.
오늘은 송파나루공원에 있는 석촌호수의 단풍을 보기위해 일몰부터 저녁까지 걸어보았습니다. 지금은 단풍낙엽축제가 진행중인데, 덕분에 나무에 여러 조명까지 있어서 야간에 특히 더 아름답습니다. 아마 이번주가 예쁜 단풍을 볼 수 있는 마지막 시기가 아닐까 싶습니다.

Seokchon Lake Park in Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea includes Seokchon Lake[1] and Lotte World’s Magic Island. The lake’s area is 217,850 m2 (2,344,900 sq ft) and its average depth is about 4.5 meters (15 ft).

Seokchon Lake was originally a part of the Han River. There was an island named Burido in the middle of the Han River dividing it into two, Songpa River (the north part) and Sincheon River(the south part). In April 1971, a construction to connect Burido with land has started. It was proceeded by enlarging the Songpa River and closing the Sincheon River. By this construction, the closed southern part of the Han River became Seokchon Lake, and the land made by the reclamation project became Jamsil-dong and Sincheon-dong.

In the 1970s, Seokchon Lake used to be a tacky lake right after the construction. So people created a walking trail and planted trees, transforming the area into a park. After some time, Seokchon Lake started to suffer from water pollution, causing foul smells. This caused people to avoid Seokchon Lake Park. In 2001, Songpagu designated it to make into a tourist attraction and did some maintenance business. This caused the water to become clear and the ecological system to be recovered.

East Lake – The East Lake has a trail which is connected to West Lake under the Jamsilhosugyo (Jamsil Lake Bridge). Beside the trail, there are some facilities including some rest area and public restrooms. At the north side, there is a two-floor building which has the Songpa Travel Information Center on the second floor. In October 2014, the Rubber Duck was held on the East Lake by Lotte Group to celebrate the opening of the new Lotte World Mall. Also, the Super Moon Project was held in September 2016, an art project planned by the art collaborative group FriendsWithYou. The Super Moon is a 60-foot inflatable sculpture surrounded by a garden of eight symbolic planets of color and light.

West Lake – The West Lake is 112,065㎡ large and is slightly larger than the East Lake. Around the West Lake, there are Seoul Playground and Lotte World’s Magic Island.
