It is unusually cold this year but, even the last cold snap in March is finally over and typical spring weather is on the march with gentle wind. What a moment we have been waiting for! March is good season to take a tour in Korea but it is still premature spring for flower viewing. Don’t be discouraged yet.
Even though we can not meet spring flowers, it is far better season to enjoy romantic sunset when Korea tour. Around the Airport Railroad lines, you can find several attractions for sunset. If you are having travel with sweetheart or family, I strongly suggest lovely sunset places below.
1. Eulwangri beach around “Incheon Int’l Airport Station”
Starting point from the Incheon Int’l Airport Station, the Youngyu west beach which is combined with the Yeongjongdo Island is one of best sunset places. You can feel an endless horizon of the Muuido Island, Jawoldo Island and Deokjeokdo Island. When a sun goes down, why don’t you enjoy scenery sitting on the Eulwangri beach? It will be more romantic than you imagine.

2. Jungseojin & Youngjong Grand bridge rest station around “Cheongna Int’l City station”
Jungseojin is starting point of the Youngjong Grand bridge and ending point of Ara Waterway. If the Jeongdongjin is a famous sun-greeting place, the Jungseojin is a new attraction of sunset spot. Every end of the year, People have year-end festivities on the Jungseojin with fascinating sunset silhouette. The night view of the Youngjong Grand bridge and the Ara Waterway is another attractive option.
If you would like to enjoy sunset and night-scape of the Youngjong Grand bridge more specific, visiting the Youngjong Grand bridge rest station is proper way. The first floor is souvenir shop and food court, and you can watch whole scenery of the Jungseojin & the Youngjong Grand bridge at the observatory.

Haneul Park was once a landfill, but the former landfill site was transformed into an ecological park. The Haneul Park is the most popular place situated in World Cup Park which was built to commemorate the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Haneul Park is known to be the “closest to the sky” offering the most beautiful sights of sunset in downtown city of Seoul.
“Haneul” in Korean is the word for “sky”, the park is situated on the highest part of World Cup Park and offers relaxation. After climbing up 291 stairs of zigzags, visitors can enjoy fantastic views of Seoul and the Han river. During the annual Eulalia Festival, the entire park becomes carpeted in waves of silver, rendered by lush eulalia in full bloom.
