1.4 million square meters in area, with sporting facilities, wooded park, sculptures, reproduction of 2 historical sites, museum - this is Olympic Park. This is also the place where I watched a few concerts! And where Running Man was filmed at least twice!
After 3 consecutive weeks of concert-going, I returned with the aim to admire the scenery rather than pretty boys, and thankfully the weather was cool!

The cherry blossoms season made me slightly flower crazy, running around Seoul searching for the best scenery. If you are not a fan of cherry blossoms, you should still pay Olympic park a visit, as there are many species of plants at the park and it's a beautiful place for an evening stroll!
In my opinion, the park may not be the best place for pure cherry blossoms viewing since the cherry trees are scattered all around the park, but the mix of different species of flowers and trees makes it worth the trip! Plus I was slightly bored of cherry blossoms after a while, so it was a breath of fresh air to me!

Walk up and you can see the scenery from (probably) the highest point in the park
If you're tired or just not a fan of walking, take a ride on the road train "Hodori Train" located next to the Peace Square.

When you're overseas for an extended period of time, you can't help it but miss home sometimes. Of course I had to find the Singapore flag and take some photos of it/with it. I'm proud to be Singaporean! (:
