Seoul Botanic park(서울식물원) – has newly opened!

Seoul Botanic park is the only indoor botanical park in Seoul.

There is a newly opened botanic park(서울식물원) near my home and the office in Seoul.

I have been looking forward to its opening for a long time with the news that it will be a huge, special and nice park.

With the news, I really wanted this park to be one of must attractions in Seoul.

They hadn’t opened its door for the public, so I couldn’t see what was being made but only the building.

Oct 11th, 2018, it was finally announced it will be temporarily opened until May 2019.

Music concert at the Seoul botanic park

There was also a big news, a music concert named 열린음악회 will be held at the park, and one of my friends suggested going there with free tickets.

The music festival was held on its opening day at night.

Needless to say, it was an unforgettable moment with the very first seat I have taken and the famous celebrities were very close so I could see them.

But they prohibited taking pictures, so no more pictures.

There are tons of flowers and trees from around the world.

Before this park was built, this area was all farmland.
It was started to be build about 10 years ago.
I want to recommend you visit here, and see the buildings surrounding here.
The biggest company in here is LG.
LG is one of the conglomerates, and has so many companies.
Most LG research centers have moved near here.
