- Jamsil Hangang Park
- Started in 1977 and completed in September 1984 as the
largest of its kind, the Jamsil Stadium has been the highlight
of the much-famed sports of Korea. The historical Jamsil Olympic
Stadium building has hosted the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988
Seoul Olympics along with their opening and closing ceremonies
and athletics events. The park is easy to access by public
transportation (on Subway Line No. 2), and hence, is at the
heart of Gangnam culture. Filling its 402,816㎡ area of space are
vast structures such as the Olympic Stadium, Baseball Stadium,
Swimming Pool No. 1 and No. 2, the Indoor Gym, as well as the
smaller scale athletics arena, Student Indoor Gym, and outdoor
park facilities. International sporting events, large-crowd
drawing concerts, and many other cultural events are also held
throughout its premises.
- Water Taxi
-
Seoul’s public transportation isn’t limited to subways, buses, and taxis. There is also the Han Rive Water Taxi that began operation in 2007. There are a total of 17 taxi stations up and down the Han River. Since riders have a wide option to select from in terms of which station to get on and off at, some may be able to get to their destinations faster than alternative modes of land transportation. Another plus is the view of the Han River!
