Last year on October, my sister, university friend, and I went to Seoul Eulalia Festival in Haneulgongwon. It was really beautiful! This year I saw on facebook that there will be 2016 Seoul Eulalia Festival from Ocotber 10 until October 17. If you guys are in Korea and have interest in photography, I recommend you to visit this place :)

The World Cup Park was established on Nanjido, whose name means the island of "abundant orchids and gromwells." The island was once a wonderful ecosystem where flowers flourished season in and season out, and migrant birds came to visit every year. Haneulgongwon is actually one of the famous park that is located inside the World Cup Park.

Address: 95, Haneulgongwon-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul

How to get here: go until Hapjeong Station, line 2. From there take bus number 271 and get off at World Cup Gongwon Station

Haneul Park (Sky Park) is full of lush Eulalia and home to the Seoul Eulalia Festival, held every year in October when the grass is in bloom. During the festival, the park remains open until 10 p.m. and the entire grounds are glow with light. Visitors not only get a beautiful view of the city lights and Hangang River, but can also enjoy the variety of events and performances offered during the festival period.
