Without further ado, 5 of us rushed out from IFC Mall to KBS as we only had about an hour to gather again for lunch and leaving Yeouido to Incheon airport.
Yeouido Park (여의도공원).
From the above map, Yeouido Park is connected to Hangang Park. You just need to turn right and walk all the way to exit 9. Actually I've been here not once but twice...

Manually stitched these 5 photos to make create panoramic view.
First visit in Jun 2012, we missed the ferry by few minutes
as we couldn't located the ticket counter. ㅠㅠ
We decided to skip it as thhe next departure time was quite late.
It's tiring after came back from Jarasum Island in Gapyeong (near Nami Island), and shopping for the whole afternoon at Dongdaemun and Itaewon.
We got so many flyers from food delivery service
(음식배달) from Pizza, Fried Chicken and
Chinese Food while we're strolling.
Chinese Food while we're strolling.
However, we couldn't order it although we asked that person to order for us, but seemed that it's hard as we didn't have local mobile number. At the end, we just grab burgers from Loteria and munching it facing Han river. There were a lot of family, friends spending their time in the evening and also lovey dovey couples dating there too.
Second visit was on 9 Sep 2013...

Totally mesmerized by beautiful riverside scenery while cruising from Yeouido Hangang Park. It's so dreamy to see dramatic Rainbow Fountain at Banpo Bridge, unobstructed night skyline view of N Seoul Tower, 63 City Building and skyscrapers from far.
Let me think... have I ever walked in the park in Seoul?
I think never... For Hangang Park, I strolled along the riverside not inside the park. We went there in the evening and couldn't see the park, so it's not counted.

Besides functioning as sports area for jogging, cycling, in-line skating,
this park also providing areas for relaxation.

Do you know that Yeouido is a popular place during spring?
It's because Annual cherry blossom festival is held here and you won't get wrong if you want to see cherry blossom.
I also wish to stroll under canopy of around 1500 cherry trees,
but it's late autumn and all that I can see is...

contrast colors of National Assembly, autumn foliage and blue sky.
Yeouido Park is located in between IFC and National Assembly. You just need to cut cross the Cultural Event Plaza and go to exit 6. But, we're only use this exit to take some photos before going to KBS (Korean Broadcasting System).
