Beautiful night view of Seokchon Lake
#fallingseason
Jamsil's Seokchon Lake is a beautiful sight any time of day, especially at night when the soft ripples of the water cross over the surface under the moonlight. It's a unique spot to visit with friends or while on a date, and you have the option to choose from a moon boat or a UFO boat. The rental fee may vary between each boat, but you're sure to enjoy your time out on the lake waters. Make this boat ride your next stop on your weekend outing.

Tips for the location of Seokchon Lake where you can see Lotte World Magic Castle for free during Christmas 🎄

A story about a guy who brought a camera but didn't bring a memory card and only took pictures with his phone🤗
I went to see Magic Castle at 8 PM, but there were so many people, and there were about 3 groups in the stair pillar photo zone! If you want to send the blue pillar behind the person, lean your body further to the lower left and take the picture - The more you zoom in, the more you can capture the Magic Castle, so I recommend zooming in 2-3 times! ✨ Please note that it's difficult to take pictures of the stair pillar when the lights start to turn on!!
I was satisfied with just taking a selfie next to the stair pillar, so I'll try to make memories in various ways🫶
I think I should go early to take a picture without the tree branches under the stair pillar🥹 (I couldn't go 30 minutes before the light-up on a weekday evening because it was full..)

Plus, there's a stamp rally event in every corner of Lotte World Mall, so you can also find hidden Rubber Ducks and receive gifts 🧡.

Lotte World Castle Light Up Show seen from Seokchon Lake
Lotte World is always mentioned by many people looking for a Christmas photo zone!
Lotte World Castle can be seen from Seokchon Lake, so I also visited there.
The purpose of my visit was to see the light-up show at Lotte World Castle, but Lotte World Castle itself, which was dark and filled with a Christmas atmosphere, was so pretty! Also, there are so many people during the show that it’s hard to take pictures, so if you want to take pictures first, I recommend visiting when it’s not crowded!
The light-up show at Lotte World starts at 8:30 and lasts for about 5 minutes! If you don’t want to miss a good spot, I recommend going 30 minutes early and waiting!

Jamsil Steakhouse, Nops Lotte World Mall Branch
I visited Nop's Steak House, which was perfect in terms of atmosphere, taste, and price!
If you go during the day, you can see the Seokchon Lake view, and if you go at night, you can see the beautiful night viewㅠㅠ The steak is good quality, soft, and delicious, so I highly recommend it! The interior is spacious and there are a lot of seats, so it would be great for year-end gatherings and family gatherings👍

Serenity at Seokchon Lake: enjoy the tranquility!
#koreatrip Nestled in the heart of Seoul, Seokchon Lake offers a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely walk or a relaxing afternoon. The serene waters of the lake, surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque pathways, provide a beautiful setting for both locals and visitors to unwind.
One of the highlights of Seokchon Lake is its stunning views of Lotte Tower, the fifth tallest building in the world. As you stroll around the lake, you can catch glimpses of this impressive skyscraper towering above, reflecting in the calm waters of the lake. The contrast between the natural beauty of the lake and the modern architecture of Lotte Tower makes for a striking sight, especially at sunset when the tower lights up against the evening sky.
The lake is also located next to Lotte World, one of Seoul's most popular theme parks. Whether you're walking along the lake’s paths or relaxing by the water, you can enjoy a view of the theme park’s iconic rides and attractions. During certain seasons, you may even hear the cheerful sounds of laughter and music from the park, adding to the lively atmosphere of the area.
Seokchon Lake is particularly famous for its beauty during the spring and fall months. In spring, the lake is surrounded by cherry blossoms in full bloom, creating a magical pink landscape. In autumn, the colorful foliage of the surrounding trees creates a stunning display of reds and oranges, making it a photographer’s dream.
Whether you're here for a peaceful stroll, a chance to enjoy nature, or simply to take in the magnificent views of Lotte Tower and Lotte World, Seokchon Lake is a must-visit destination in Seoul. It offers the perfect blend of tranquility and excitement, with something for everyone to enjoy.

A Bakery Full of Various Bagels:
I visited Obebe Bakery, one of the top three bagel shops in Songpa, located near Jamsil Station.
Thanks to the bright and flashy lights, it didn't feel like a bakery at first! It was only after seeing the bagels on the shelf next to the door that I realized it was a bagel specialty shop. As a bagel lover, I was overwhelmed and couldn't decide what to choose because everything looked so delicious.
I ordered a blueberry bagel, a rice bagel, and an iced Americano. The blueberry bagel was impressive with jam spread on the outside. It was moderately sweet, not greasy, and chewy. The rice bagel was a plain bagel but had a nice, mild flavor. After finishing everything and drinking the iced Americano, it was a perfect finish!

Seoul Cherry Blossoms
The whole of Seoul is a sea of pink, with several major cherry blossom viewing spots including Yeouido and Seokchon Lake offering breathtaking views that make it hard to leave. Walking under the fully bloomed cherry trees, the blossoms at first glance resemble tender popcorn flowers blooming in abundance. The stunning cherry blossom season typically lasts just a week each year, fleeting in its beauty. In Korea, cherry blossoms symbolize purity and peerless beauty. Recently, the season has also begun to enter the period of 'cherry blossom snowstorms', where being showered in cherry blossom rain is another kind of beauty.

Along with Yeouido and Seoul Grand Park, Jamsil Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossoms are selected as the three cherry blossoms in Seoul. Recently, the name of Sofitel Ambassador Seoul has appeared to enjoy this place properly and differently. This is because it is located in the best place to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom facing Seokchon Lake.
A lake surrounded by budding cherry blossoms reflected in its water with a fantasy-like amusement park and castle right in the center? Yes, please! Paired with its annual cherry blossom festival and located next to the Lotte Mall, Seokchon Lake lays out a whole day’s worth of spring and fun all in one spot.

Jamsil Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossom Bloom Status, Recommended Date Course.
Jamsil Seokchon Lake cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and there were really a lot of people visiting this weekend. Despite the crowdedness, everyone kept order well, so it was safe to enjoy the view haha. However, some photo zones around the edge of the lake need repairs and are blocked off. Personally, I recommend visiting around 5 PM! You can enjoy the sunset and cherry blossoms at the same time!!!

Discover Cherry Blossoms at Seokchon Lake 🌸
After visiting Lotte World to enjoy the rides, I unwind at Seokchon Lake. It is a picturesque lake located in Seoul, there are a whole stretch of cherry blossoms! They have an annual festival where you can admire the cherry blossoms at night with lights.
The park mainly consists of walking trails, cherry blossoms and benches. The park is long and thin, in an "8"-shape surrounding the 2 parts of Seokchon lake. There are many locals who are taking a stroll or jogging there.
There are also many paths leading outwards to the general city area, so it is convenient to enter and exit.

Must-Visit for Cherry Blossoms in Seoul
If you visiting Seoul for cherry blossoms, please please please visit Seokchon Lake which is located near Jamsil Station. The cherry blossom festival is always a local favorite and I always take my foreigner friends here. Not a lot of tourists know of Seokchon Lake. But there are lots of Korean locals but there are safety measures so no worries on safety.

The Makan, taste of Malaysian cuisine in Seoul
Makan, means eating in Malay. It is extremely hard to find a Malaysian restaurant in Seoul, but this outlet which was operated 2 years ago serves a variety of Malaysian cuisine such as Satay, Char Koay Teow, Nasi Lemak, Teh Tarik etc. The Chefs are from Malaysia and this is why they are able to replicate a rather similar taste although in Seoul. This shop closes on Sunday and you will expect huge crowds o Saturday. It is indeed a good place for those who stayed in Seoul craving for Malaysian food.
