Hi walkers! It's Jude from 'walk essentials'.
On a weekend evening in early summer weather, I visited Ttukseom Hangang Park.
I walked with the night view of the Han River, a picnic on a mat, a dog, a busking performance, and basketball. I also like Han River Park.
Then have fun walking along the Han River! :)

[Ttukseom Hangang Park]
Ttukseom is not really an island. It was famous as a riverside amusement park before Han River Park was built. The whole area was low and flat, and it was a floodplain formed by the Han River and suffered a lot of damage during the flood. Currently, it is used as Ttukseom Hangang Park.
Ttukseom is also the place where the first water purification plant in Korea was built to produce tap water. The first water purification plant of ‘Ttukdo Water Source’ was completed in August 1908 by Americans Colbran and Bostwick after receiving permission from the Korean government for water supply facilities.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Ttukseom was a representative summer resort for Seoul residents, and now they go on vacation to the sea, but even at this time, Seoul citizens spent the summer on the banks of the Han River. Although there were many sandbars along the Han River, Seoulites liked to visit Ttukseom because there were green cottonwood trees along the waterfront to avoid the scorching sun.
In 1954, the first racecourse in Korea was built in Ttukseom, and the racecourse was a success with people from all over the country flocking to it. It was also closed. Now Ttukseom has been reborn as Seoul Forest. (Source_https://m.blog.naver.com/jawkoh/220912833116)
[Seoul Thinking Maru (Ttukseom Jaworm)]
It is an observatory cultural space with a length of 240 m and an area of 1,931 m2 in the shape of a slender, cylindrical ‘jaebull’. Any citizen, including the disabled, can conveniently enter the park through this place, and various cultural spaces have been created with observation spaces inside Jabeol.
