Seokchon Lake
석촌호수
A lakeside park at the foot of Lotte World Tower, with about 1,000 cherry trees blooming around the lake against the backdrop of the skyscraper. It's one of Seoul's most popular spots for cherry blossom viewing.
Seokchon Lake is divided into the East Lake and the West Lake, with a lakeside path of about 2.5 km. The West Lake sits right next to the Magic Island of Lotte World Adventure, and from the East Lake you can photograph the reflection of Lotte World Tower. In early April, when the cherry blossoms bloom, a lakeside cherry blossom festival is held, and weekends are very crowded. At other times, it's a favorite walking spot for locals and often hosts giant art installations. A loop around the lake takes about 40 minutes and is free. Exit 2 or 3 of Chamsil Station (Subway Lines 2 and 8) is about a 5-minute walk away. You can visit it on the same day as Lotte World Tower and Lotte World.
