Olympic Park was built for the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games and covers about 1.45 million square meters. It preserves the ruins of the Mongchon Earthen Fortress from the Baekje period. The 'Lonely Tree' on the grassy slope is a popular photo spot, and the pampas grass in autumn and the rose garden in spring are also lovely. The park includes a sculpture park, the SOMA Museum of Art and the Seoul Baekje Museum. KSPO DOME and the Olympic Hall often host K-pop concerts, and many fans visit specifically for them. Admission is free. The park is large, so renting a bike is a good idea. Get off at Olympic Park Station (Subway Line 5) or Mongchontoseong Station (Subway Line 8).
