Now, shall we take a look and see
what there is to do in the area around Magongnaru Station?
Seoul Botanic Park
Seoul Botanic Park introduces the
plant life and plant culture of 12 cities around the world, and it exists in
Magok as the last developing site in Seoul in order to increase the city’s
ecology sensitivity.
Seoul Botanic Garden is divided up
into 4 major parts: the open forest, the botanic garden, the lake park, and the marsh eco park.
The
Open Forest is the entrance to the botanic garden and a space where a guide service
is provided for visitors.
Guests who enter
the square connected to the subway station can see a wide lawn in the middle of
the forest.
There are many
different things to see in all four seasons, including festivals and special
exhibitions.
The Botanic
Garden is
comprised of an outdoor botanic garden that is a reproduction of a traditional garden done with
Korean wild vegetation, as well as a greenhouse that exhibits plants from 12
cities in the tropics and Mediterranean.
Guests can also see the Children’s Garden School and Magok Cultural Center, which has been designated as a
registered cultural property by the City of Seoul.
The greenhouse is especially famous
as a date spot and photo zone.
The
Lake Park is an area that features a
walking path around a lake as well as a deck with a view of the waterside.
This is both an
educational space for ecology as well as a resting area that allows guests to
sit on the stairs to the lake and view the botanical garden as well as observe
the wetland plants and residential birds.
The lake garden’s
walking path and night view are also well-known to be hidden photo zones.
The lake garden or
marsh eco park are both good spots to have a relaxing time together with
romantic partners or family.
This has been a look at Magongnaru
Station and the area around it.
We hope you make a lot of nice
winter memories in the various areas around Magongnaru Station with your
families and romantic partners. :)
