Gyeongui Line Forest ParkHongdae · Yeonnam 2A
Photo: KTOThis long, narrow park follows the old Gyeongui railway line. The Yeonnam-dong stretch is nicknamed "Yeontral Park" after New York's Central Park, and on sunny days its lawns fill with picnickers.
Small cafés, bakeries and design shops line both sides, so you can browse as you walk. It starts right by Exit 3 of Hongik University Station — an easy break during a Hongdae visit.
