SEOUL 12 places visited in Winter




Hello everyone.


Today, I will show you 12 places that I have visited recently which are great places to visit in Seoul.


📍 Myeongdong Cathedral

This cathedral installs Christmas lights and decoration.


 

Next is these famous places for Christmas lights and decorations during the winter season.


📍 Lotte Department Store


📍 Shinsegae Department Store

The Shinsegae Media façade can be best seen in front of Exit 1 of the Hoeyeon Underground Shopping Center.



Next is not in Seoul, but located near Seoul.


📍 Icheon Termeden

It's about two hours from Seoul. This is a place that many people visit during the cold winter.

It’s a hot spring. A heated water park would be a descrpiton. There is also an outdoor pool. There is also a jjimjilbang too.

Icheon is famous for rice. So, when you come to Icheon, you should try the rice.



 


Next is the New Year's countdown. Do you want to do a New Year's countdown with Kpop stars? Then pay attention to DDP Seoul Con.


📍 DDP

This is an event that first started last year. They invited influencers around the world and K-pop artists to do a New Year count down together in DDP. Only invited influencers and registered people are allowed inside. You can pre-register or register on-site for free.


 

Next is Snowy Seoul. I will recommend a good place to go when it snows in Seoul.


📍 Yanghwa Hangang Park

It's dangerous to be too close to the Han River, but here in Yanghwa Han River Park, it's a bit far from the water and has a wide field.


📍 Deoksugung Palace

The snow and the palace, very traditional Korean view is so amazing.


📍 Seoul Plaza

Seoul City Hall, located in front of Deoksugung Palace, is busy during the winter season. This is because an ice skating rink is installed in Seoul Plaza. Skate rental prices are very affordable, so visit during the winter season.


 

When it snows in Seoul, many people visit palaces. It is not easy to see the palace's snowy scenery, so many photographers and videographers visit palaces on snowy days. In particular, I think Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace are the most popular during snowy days.


📍 Changdeokgung Palace

There is Secret Garden in Changdeokgung Palace which requires a tour. You can only go in there by taking a one-hour tour from the back gate of Changdeokgung Palace. The tour is also available in English, so be sure to visit the Secret Garden when you go to Changdeokgung Palace.


 

The Seoul Lantern Festival is held at Cheonggyecheon and Gwanghwamun Square from mid-December to mid-January.

📍 Cheonggyecheon


📍 Open Song Hyeon


 

Today, I showed you 12 places that I recently visited. Some festivals and events are already over, but I still made a video because I thought it would be nice to show you what the winter is like in Korea. I think it would be a good reference for those planning to come next winter.


These places are still amazing places to visit in other seasons, so I hope this video helps you plan your trip.
