[Secret Korea - Seoul] Ep.2 Yeonnam-dong / YTN (Yes! Top News)
- 7년 전
My name is Lee Rad, I am a Musician from Seoul.
One of my favorite places in Seoul is Gyeongui Line Forest Trail in Yeonnam-dong.
Within a short walking distance from Hongdae and Shinchon, you will discover a long green strip of land between tall buildings.
More than a hundred years ago, Gyeongui Line originally stretched from Seoul station, through Sinuiju and China, to the continent of Europe.
As the new underground railroads developed, the old above-ground rails transformed into a park full of green.
Seoul folks call this place Yeontral-Park, named after the Central Park in New York.
One of the main attractions of Gyeongui Line Forest Trail outing is Dongjin Market located right next to the trail.
It’s a traditional market that boasts 50 years of history.
The traditional market was once endangered to close down but in 2013, young handcraft makers flocked to the market and transformed it to a new cultural space.
Now tourists can find many unique items created by the young artisans.
There are also various craft workshops in the alleys near the market.
You can make special portraits using flower petals.
Or you can create your very own personalized bracelets and necklaces yourself.
Yeonnam’s Forest Park changes into a different atmosphere at night.
The young locals set themselves on the grass to eat and talk.
Nearby shops are also getting busy.
The crowded night time in Forest Trail is a precious place where I get to share my music.
Once a quiet rail town, Yeonnam Dong is now currently transforming into one of Seoul’friendly neighborhoods.
