A former railroad turned 6.3km linear park. The Yeonnam-dong section has cherry trees alongside trendy cafes, vintage shops, and street art — a distinctly Seoul vibe.
The Gyeongui Line Forest Park is a remarkable urban transformation — a former railroad corridor turned into a 6.3km linear park stretching across Seoul. The Yeonnam-dong section near Hongdae has become the most popular stretch, where cherry blossoms create a stunning pink canopy over walking paths lined with indie cafes, restaurants, and small shops. Often compared to New Yorks High Line, this park is where Seoul youth culture meets nature. Walk the tree-lined paths, sit on the grass with a takeaway coffee, and watch Seouls creative community enjoy their favorite outdoor gathering spot.
