I went to SeouL Forest Park with a friend. Check out the video footage I caught of the enchanting park that looks very much like a Monet painting. It is a must visit part if you are in Seoul. The scenery and atmosphere are just lovely.

The city government spent 235.2 billion won in development.[1] It is the third largest park in Seoul city.[2] Seoul Forest is a massive park dotted with over 400,000 trees and 100 different animals. This nature park is located in Seongsu-dong and covers an area of 1,200 ha (3,000 acres)The area that was once a royal hunting forest, became Seoul's first water purification plant in 1908, and later used for both racecourse and golf facilities.
