Olympic Park, Seoul

Seoul is amazing these days. The flowers of spring all around have made the scenery attractive and more beautiful than ever. Although the weather is still cold and cold breeze is taking its final breaths. However today weather is was a bit hot with perfect sunshine and it was amazing to move around. Spending this time at some beautiful place is no doubt the wish of every one. I had an opportunity to walk in the Olympic park exploring the different attractions of Olympic park.

Olympic Park is a remarkable leisure facility in which historic remains from the Baekje Era share space with modern state-of-the-art sports stadiums, an eco-friendly forest, and spacious grassy fields. A heritage of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the park not only houses the country’s largest sports arena, but has also become a place where Seoul residents come to relax and unwind. 

As an ambassador of Sungp-gu district I along with 60 other ambassadors had a nice lunch in the Korean traditional restaurant inside the Olympic park. After that we had a presentation about the Seoul Olympic. the presenter explain also briefly bout the history and attractions of park. The park was full of people of all ages including many foreigners. It seemed every one was enjoying the weekend end with their beloved ones. Sunny day, playing kids, beautiful couples, cherry blossom and beautiful faces has made this day a very special for me. 

Our next destination was the Soul Olympic museum. We were welcome warmly by the museum management. The tour guide explains the history of world Olympics and different attractions of the museum. She explains on how these Olympics brought harmony and peace to the world. Thanks to the Sungpa-gu office for proving such  a nice opportunity to explore this part of Seoul...:)
