Walking Trip to Gangdong Arts Center and Surrounding Trails
🔮 I visited the Gangdong Arts Center and nearby trails located in Gangdong-gu, Seoul. It's a perfect short healing trip where you can enjoy both nature and art while staying close to the city.
🌳 Gangdong Arts Center
The Arts Center has a clean and modern exterior that leaves a strong impression. Although the exhibition space is not very large, it is charmingly and thoughtfully arranged, making it ideal for a light visit. The performance hall also looked quite appealing, and I found myself wanting to return to watch a show next time. There are also cafes and rest areas, making it a great spot to take a break.
🍁 Walking the Trails
Just a short walk from the Arts Center leads directly to the surrounding trails. The course I walked was part of the Iljasan Trail, which has gentle slopes and plenty of shaded areas under the trees, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll. The quiet forest path, which is rare to find in the city, left a lasting impression, and the occasional open views allowed me to pause, rest, and enjoy the breeze. You can enjoy the trail with just sneakers and no special equipment, and the well-maintained paths make it an easy course even for beginners.
