Foggy cityscape with a bridge crossing a river and tall skyscrapers in the backdrop.

Seokchon Lake West Bank

석촌호수 서호

Jamsil, Seoul · 서울

The western half of Seokchon Lake, ringed by a walking loop planted with a thousand cherry trees, with Lotte World Tower reflected across the water.

Why it’s worth it

The blossom festival here is Seoul’s second-biggest and considerably calmer than Yeouido. Walk it anti-clockwise at dusk for the tower reflection.
