Places to go in Seoul, Korea [Lotte World, Lotte World Tower, Seokchon Lake Park ]

Hello :D, This is Daniel from Share Korea.

Don't you know where to go around in Seoul? Are you looking for a place that has everything such as Theme Park / Shopping / Dating in Seoul, Korea?

Then Jamsil is probably the best place to go. But please.. don't go alone. You may find lots of couples having a date from there. The reason why all the couples coming to Jamsil is because you don't have to check the weather forecast before going to Jamsil.

Let me tell you why.

#1  Lotte World (롯데월드)

The Lotte World, an amusement park in Seoul, South Korea, has been operating under protection from the elements for the past 25 years. It consists of Indoor Adventure, the world's largest indoor theme park, an outdoor theme park called Magic Island, a luxury hotel, the Korean Folk Museum, shopping malls, department stores, sports facilities and a movie theater, all in one place. 

Indoor Adventure is the world’s largest indoor theme park and hosts a dazzling variety of seasonal festivals and parades all year round and features 22 different rides. Magic Island, the outdoor theme park of Lotte World, is an artificial island located in the middle of Seokchon Lake and boasts 17 different rides including the high-altitude free-fall thrill ride, the Gyro Drop.

Below is the map of Lotte World.

• Hours of Operation: Mon-Fri 09:30 ~ 22:00, Sat-Sun 09:30 ~ 23:00 

#2 Lotte World Tower

 Lotte World Tower over 550 meters or 1,800 feet! The architecture in the area is modern and unique.Lotte World Tower Hotel is in its final stages of construction and will eventually be linked to this Mall as well.  The Lotte World Tower Mall is easily accessible  from metro; it is right on top of the Jamsil Station which is a subway interchange between the green and pink lines. 

The pink line's Jamsil subway[Line #8] exits are linked to the basements of Lotte World Tower Mall itself which has a duplex hypermarket Lotte Mart and a duplex aquarium. The Lotte World Tower Mall main wing also hosts a department store, countless standalone shops and restaurants, a big cineplex (on its upper floors) and Hard Rock Cafe Seoul. The green subway line[Line #2] at Jamsil, and the Lotte World Theme Park across the road are connected to the high end wing Lotte Avenuel Mall. 

There is a several restaurants on the uppermost floors of Lotte Avenuel Mall that have an excellent view of Seokchon Lake and its surrounding park. An avid shopper will probably find it inadequate to spend an entire day exploring this sprawling 2-in-1 mega mall. The main wing of the Lotte World Mall has all the popular chain stores like H&M, Uniqlo, Zara, etc as well as branches of Korean cosmetic shops such as Etude House, Face Shop, Innisfree, Laneige, etc. I reckon the Lotte World Tower Mall will be a good place to escape from the scorching summer heat or freezing winter weather.

#3 Seokchon Lake Park

Just behind the Lotte World Tower you can find Seokchon lake which is the lake surrounds the amusement park, Lotte World. It has walking track and you can appreciate the area from many angles. Trust me, if the weather is good,  go grab some food and a drink as there are many areas to sit. 

It is also famous for the Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossom Festival which is an annual event that takes place during early to mid April where you can see cherry blossoms covering the whole walking path.

Well,,, as you can see from the pictures, Jamsil is the best place to go with your partner. 😀If you still haven't decided where to go in Seoul, spending a day in Jamsil  won't regret your day.
