  • American Expat Explorer Tours Seoul's Sungin Park: A Korea Treasure!
    I love living in Seoul South Korea. One of the best things one can find in Seoul, and Korea in general, are parks! Korea does parks so well! I toured Sungin Park in Seoul South Korea, by randomly finding it as I was touring another area in Seoul. Seoul parks are a lot different than the ones I'm used to in the United States or in France. Seoul parks are just so dynamic! I love living in Seoul South Korea and always going to parks wherever I see them, which are in EVERY neighborhood! I think you will Sungin Park and parks in Korea as well!

    Korean parks are FIRST CLASS! YES, every country and city have parks, but did you see this random Korean park?! Let me know how the parks look in your city and country?

      I am only at 36 seconds and will watch this but don’t need to because I agree with you wholeheartedly about Korea’s parks!!! They are phenomenal. There are parks I’ve been to many times, and when I come back after being gone 4-5 months, I almost always find improvements. Korea’s parks are not static but are ever evolving. Korea devotes a lot of time and effort and resources into making its parks places that can be enjoyed by everyone…whether that includes ramps that can be used by cyclists or for wheelchairs, exercise equipment, benches for resting or looking at views or people watching, tables where people can eat or spots where people can play board games, tennis courts, basketball courts, tracks for jogging or cycling, sandboxes fir young children and swing sets. And they also maintain paths, sometimes adding railings or putting in woven material so that people don’t skip in the mud. Korea makes its parks places people want to visit on their own, with their friends, families and loved ones. The parks offer spaces to be quiet and reflective or to joyously celebrate life. I could go on and on, but I’ll stop now. Way to go, Korea!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Hi, Francois!! Great video on Korean parks!
    Like you, I love all the parks in Korea or any parks
    in the world as long as they are safe to visit.
    Walking in the park for me literally feels like therapy for my body and soul.
    I do it as much as I can. One of my favorite parks that I often visit in Seoul is the Olympic
    Park near 잠실!! If you have not been to this park yet
    by all means, you need to go because it is considered one of the best parks
    in Korea. You are definitely missing out if you
    have not been here before. This park was built in 1988 for the Seoul
    Olympics and it is an eco-friendly forest, with many sporting events, and many cultural arts displays.
    It is truly a massive park with many things to do. You can get
    great work out there by doing a lot of things like simple
    walking, biking, and exercising at many sports facilities including tennis, fencing, swimming,
    fitness gym, and much more. There are even concert halls for many domestic
    and foreign artists, establishing this park as Korea's cultural mecca. I once went to
    Whitney Houston's concert here in Feb of 2010. It was an amazing concert. RIP Whitney!!
    The parks that I used to go to when I was living in Atlanta were Piedmont and one at Emory University called
    Lullwater Preserve Park while I was attending school there. I don't know if you have visited these two parks
    in Atlanta when you were living there, but both Korea and the U.S. have similarities and differences when it comes
    to parks. Similarities are of course parks in both countries give community members a pleasant location to gather and play, especially
    for the kids. As you said, when kids are out in parks and engage in physical activity, they gain a lot of health benefits, physically and
    mentally, However, some differences that I noticed between the parks in the U.S. and Korea are the sheer size and the vibe. The parks in the U.S. are usually much
    bigger than in Korea obviously given the size of the country in the U.S., especially the National Parks like the ones I have been to such as The Great Smokey Mountain, Yellowstone, and The Yosemite. The park vibe in the U.S. seems/feels more "natural" but yet feels more "distant" due to wide open fields and magnitude, whereas in Korea, it feels more "cozy" and "connected" but it also feels somewhat "artificial" and less natural if you know what I mean. I don't know if I am making any sense to you but that's how I feel to be honest comparing the two countries' parks. Needless to say, I love all the parks in both countries and again, if you have not been to the Olympic Park in Seoul, I highly recommend it. As always, peace brother, and may God bless you in all things you do in life. See you~~

    숭인공원도 처음 봅니다(서울 시민 ㅋㅋ)
    공원에 있는 나무와 기와로 만든 휴식 공간은 정자(jeongja)라고 하는데, 벽이 없고 기둥과 지붕만 있어요. 경치를 보기 위해 만든 집이고, 아주 옛날(신라 고구려 백제 1st century BC 전에 )부터 전국에 있었죠. 문화 유적으로 지정된 신라, 조선 시대 등의 정자(jeongja)도 있습니다. 공원이나 산에서 가끔 볼 수 있는 바닥의 Yellow Ocher mat는 황마(jute) or 삼베(hemp)로 만들어요. 미끄러움을 방지합니다.
    The wood and tile resting place in the park is called Jeongja, which has no walls, only columns and roofs. It is a house made for viewing the scenery, and it has been throughout the country since ancient times (before Silla Goguryeo Baekje 1st Century BC). There are also Jeongja, from the Silla and Joseon periods, designated as cultural relics. Yellow Ocher mat on the floor, which can sometimes be seen in parks or mountains, is made from jute or hemp. It prevents slipping.

They're so safe in Korea. I don't know how they do it. Korea really takes care of its people. And even the ground they do something to protect one from slipping and sliding. Boy I wish other countries including mine can take a page from their books. Thanks for sharing.

    • @francoismarc3
