- 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?
Probably airblower is to not only dust off dirt but for bugs off walking thru mountain or wooded park.
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!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You taught me how to appreciate everything around me. We take every great thing for granted.
Thank you for the comment:) I'm doing my best to love the small things in life. I think that is where there is true happiness:) Thanks again:)
Korea is probably the safest and cleanest country!!
I have to agree!!!
인상이 너무 좋으세용!
그리고 한국을 사랑해 주셔서 감사합니다!
항상 행복하세용!
ㅎㅎㅎ 모지리 뽕에 젖어사냐?
Thank you so very much! Korea is an amazing country. Let's keep her that way:) Thank you for watching and your support!:)
Thanks for sharing beautiful Korea with us. You show us things off the beaten path which are amazing.
Happy Thanksgiving from Las Vegas.
Thank you so much for watching!! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! Hope you had a great meal!!
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~~
Hey, thanks so much for this beefy comment, bro! The US has AMAZING national parks, but I do think Korea beats America in neighborhood parks. They are just so convenient and easy to get around! But you are right on many points in your missive! Appreciate you, bro!!!
It’s the small, simple things that add value to our lives. So nice to see you appreciating a lot of things that bring a smile to your face, Francois ✌🏻
기와집은 조선시대보다 훨씬 이전 삼국시대부터 건축되어 온 전통방식입니다. 그리고 공원 바닥에 미끄럼방지용으로 깔아놓은 것은 야자매트입니다. 열대지방에서 수입 해온 야자 나무 또는 야자 열매 껍질을 가공하여 만든 것일겁니다. 당신의 미소가 시원스럽고 발음이 알아듣기 좋아 자주 보고 있어요. 응원합니다❤❤❤
Thank you so much for letting me know about the roofs! I didn't know this information:) And thank you for wonderful words and your support:)
Thank you for that explanation. Have a great day!!
Not sure how you celebrate, but Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing an amazing rest of the year for you, filled with happiness, love and health. Thank you for loving Korea, the good and bad.
Thank you so much for the message and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!! I hope you ate as well as I did! I mirror those sentiments:) Korea is home, for the good and bad:)
한국에 살고 있어서 한국공원이 좋은지 몰랐는데 이 영상을 보니 한국공원은 정말 훌륭하네요 좋은 영상 입니다
Korean parks are the best! There are so many things to do and they are clean and safe:) Thanks for watching:)
Korean parks are top notch. Parks in US, where I live is just an open field. Great vid👍
Exactly lol. Maybe an occasional basketball court, but nothing like parks here!! Thank you!!!
❤ Francois Marc, your enthusiasm for life is contagious and we appreciate you! ❤ K-American noona in Southern California 🌸
Hey, thanks so much! We can be here one day and gone the next!! I'm trying to appreciate as much as possible in every moment!:) 누나 너무 감사합니다!!!
First!!! Haha, always wanted the chance to do this. 선 댓글 후 감상합니다! 잘 보겠습니다~
Hahaha you were first! Thanks for making it!!!:)
팔각정입니다
여덢개의 각으로 이루어진 지붕구조 때문에 그렇게 부른답니다.
Thank you for letting me know this!:)
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.
Thank you so much for adding a valuable comment!:)
I hope the wound on your wrist gets better soon. And if you have time, I think it would be a great video if you could collect your slow motion videos and upload them separately. Your slow motion videos are awesome and beautiful. Have a happy day!
Thank you for the well wishes:) And that is a wonderful idea about the slow motion videos. Really thank you so much:):)
I hope you leave behind many good memories in Korea. 😊😊
Thank you so very much! I'm already having an amazing time here:)♡♡
저희 마을에도 산책로와 공원.주민들의 건강을 위해 곳곳에 운동기구들이 잘 갖추어져 있습니다.
항상 친절한 영상 감사합니다^^
This is why I love Korea so much! Health is important for the citizens and the government realizes that. Thanks so much for the lovely comment:)
Hello again thank you for showing wonderful Korean parks they are will equipped and very clean everywhere
Hey, it's my pleasure! I'm just documenting the truth!!:)
Francois the park you're showing is so beautiful. I love all the flowers, the colors. And those exercise equipment. In my country if they put them down today, by night they might be gone. Lol. 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.
America definitely should...I think people would be happier if their were exercise equipment in parks close to people's homes! More happy hormones from exercise means less angry people around. Now I'm curious as to which country you are in! Hahah
@francoismarc3 a Caribbean one but my sister doesn't want me to say. Lol
Thank you for introducing me to the great story and wonderful parks in Korea. Have a nice day ~❤
Thank you so much for watching:) Parks in Korea are so nice and comfortable:) Have a wonderful day too!:)♡
They spend money wisely encouraging health.
Being a Baby Boomer it’s like all Asian Country’s have transformed for the better. Yet our country is sadly so far behind and failing!
The wood structures are so beautiful.
I’d love to see it in Spring.
The parks are because so many live in high rise apartments.
Thank you ! Look forward to your next video! 🕊️
Happy Thanks Giving to you! 🦃💙🇺🇸🦅
I can literally see this in action!
Love that you have shown this park . So lovely. So many features.
It's amazing park! Almost all parks I've seen are very similar to this one! Thanks for joining me on the journey:)
한국인들 자동차 보면 항상 깨끗하죠! ㅎㅎㅎ
공원에 운동기구 망가지면 사람들이 구청에 전화합니다. 여기 고장났는데 고쳐주세요 ㅋㅋ 공무원들 바쁩니다 😊😅
Hahahahah I love it!!!
요즘 동네공원들 정말 많이 좋아졌어요, 저 어릴적 80년대는 동네공원엔 깡패형들 무서워서 뺑돌아서 다녔다는... ㅋㅋ
Hahahahaha thank you for sharing your story. I didn't know gangsters hung out there before hahaha. These days, the parks are amazing:)
@@francoismarc3 Not so much legit gangsters, but think younger thug-wannabes and delinquents? It was kind of their hangout place.
은행 참 예뻐요! 💛근데 지금은 다 떨어졌어 🤣🤣
Its all gone, but maybe it will come back in December!!! Hahahah It was beautiful!!!♡♡
Gobble gobble…🦃🥧 Hope you have a great day!🎉
It is that day!! Have a great day as well!!!:)
Oooh, Happy Thanksgiving, cooked with my family today, I want to get my teeth done in Korea, I hear they're nice teeth but I want them to be perfect, I'm living in Florida now and it's beautiful here, I feel attached to Florida for sure and have been here for a while now ♥
Happy Thanksgiving!! What did you all eat?! Korea has great dental practioners, so you will have no troubles here:) I've been to Florida a few times, but I don't know much about that state. I'm happy you live well there:)
@francoismarc3 we had Mutton Biryani, turkey, cabbage mixed with other vegetables, baked mac and cheese, stuffing, cranberry sauce from Costco, Baklava, pumpkin pie, I should make you some Thanksgiving foods, Florida is pleasant for me, it can be racist for Black men but you'll be fine as long as you're around the right people, private house is best, you're safe with us ☺️
No public vandalisms or thefts. People just respect public properties.
You hit the nail on the head!! Korea♡♡♡
i just cannot wait to see your next content!! =)
Hey, it's coming soon:) thank you so much for supporting me!:)
Pohang steelers won to Ulsan Hyundai today. Did you watch it there?
I was busy today"(
@@francoismarc3 You didn't go there?
외국처럼 잔디밭도 사방에 없고 달릴만한 곳도 없는데? 산길은 잘 발달 되어 있지. 자전거도로도 좋아. 프랑수아~ 자전거를 타고 다니면 경치 찍기가 아주 좋아. 어디든 쉽게 갈 수 있어. 추천
Why are lame grass fields a good thing?
Thank you so much for this comment! I will think about your suggestion!:)
@@Wandrative 멀리서 언덕에 풀밭이 있으면 평온함이 다가와.
really great
Thank you so much!!!:)
Korea has an incredible public health program... It's as if they realize that it is in their best interest to have healthy citizens. I wish in the US they used our tax dollars for good public spaces instead of all the money that is wasted on God knows what ...
I have an idea of what the US spends its money on, but this platform isn't the place for that...The US could learn something from Korea in this regard hahah
is that just seoul? i just moved about a half hour away. i went for a walk one day and got trapped in a nightmare. but hey it's snowing!
Hahaha we're you trapped in a park? Lol, sometimes they can be big and easy to get lost in lol. I've been to other parks around Korea and haven't been lost hahaha
@@francoismarc3 no. i was walking along a stream. saw fish and had a stupid idea to buy some bread to feed them. i picked the worst area. i should say that i was pushing a wheelchair btw. nasty incline to get back to street level. did not find any stores. when i tried to go back the other way, the path was all clay and had no rails on the steps to get down. if you want, i'll tell you where.
Where Is this Park?
Sugin Park in Dongmyo:)
Due to you are like John Cena figure, once children saw you at the playgrounds, they ran away vanished of traces. Of course it will hurt on the gravels when you are big and strong in Korea pushing it down with almost 200 lbs lol
Lol I'm actually small person lol. 174/75 lol There are many Koreans and other at lot bigger than me hahahah
@@francoismarc3Is that the "small" version! The "big" Korean people you've seen were their very best they tried vs. I've seen average like that your people (as everyone is "American", rather specifically black people so big in average)
오~ 이분이 진짜네
Hey, thanks so much!!
