Walked from Gotomall underground shopping mall to the park. I enjoyed strolling around Banpo Hangang park in March. Weather is refreshing, cool and chilling, just right for relaxing walk. The park offered fantastic views of the river with crisp and clean air that made the experience even more enjoyable. Great spot to unwind and take in the beauty of the river.
