Seoul’s new downtown green, Gyeongui line forest park

Created on the site where Gyeongui railway line used to run, Gyeongui Line Forest Park is a linear urban park, with a total length of 6.3 kilometers and varying width of 10 to 60 meters. As the downtown part of the line was moved underground, an urban park of a unique shape was created, instantly becoming a new attraction of Seoul. The park is easily accessed from four subway stations (Hyochang, Gongdeok, Seogang, Hongdae), and connects to trendy neighborhoods, with Hongdae and Yeonnamdong as the most frequented ones.
