Annyeong, yeoreobun! It's Yul from KVIBE IDOLS. Today we're going to a city that didn't exist twenty five years ago. Songdo, in Incheon.
Songdo was built on land made from the sea. It was planned as a smart, green city, with tall glass towers, wide parks and lots of bike paths.
In the middle of the city is Songdo Central Park. And the park has a canal filled with real sea water! You can rent a water taxi, a canoe, or a little boat and float between the skyscrapers.
Walk around and you'll see a deer garden, wide lawns, and a big traditional style building, the Gyeongwonjae hanok hotel. Old Korea and new Korea, side by side.
At night the towers light up and reflect on the water. It's one of the most beautiful night views around Incheon.
Nearby you'll find a huge outlet mall and a convention center, and the airport is close. Many travelers stop here on their first or last day in Korea.
Yul's tip! Take subway Incheon Line One to Central Park Station. Rent a bike and ride along the canal at sunset. Have a nice trip!
