Seokchon Lake

Unclaimed

Beautiful lake! It gets very crowded during the full bloom of the cherry blossoms, which can be a bit frustrating. However, the view of the blossoms and the lake, both during the day and at night, is absolutely breathtaking.

It’s so beautiful with the cherry blossoms all full bloom and with the water and the Lotte Tower as a background (like a mountain), it’s really beautiful. And it’s good to be next to Lotte so that after the walk , one can get some food and retail therapy.

Seokchon Lake in Seoul is a fantastic spot for a nice stroll, especially in spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Unfortunately, I visited just as the season was wrapping up, so I missed the best views. The area has plenty of cafes and often hosts various events, making it a lively place to hang out. Overall, it’s a great spot to unwind and soak in some nature right in the middle of the city!

Visited in April 2025, was told this is the first full cherry blossom bloom spot this season. Absolutely stunning. Quite crowded but doesn't stop us from appreciating the lovely flowers. 100% recommend.
