Travel ideas

  • Use the official garden website before visiting because the show spans Seoul Forest, nearby river routes, Seongsu, and an October Maeheon Citizen's Forest program.
  • For Seoul Forest, use Seoul Forest Station exits 3, 4, or 5; Ttukseom Station exits 7 or 8 also works if you are starting from Seongsu cafes.
  • Scan the QR smart guide signs on site for garden details; official Seoul guidance says 9 languages are supported, with audio and text in Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish.
  • Summer heat and rain matter for this long outdoor event, so use the current KMA weather note before making it the center of a day.
