Seongbuk-gu is home to Bukchon's quieter neighbour and Seoul's most literary neighbourhood, with independent bookshops and traditional restaurants tucked between old residential alleys. Ssangmun-dong's street food markets and the traditional teahouses of Samcheong-dong are highlights of this culturally rich but less-touristed district.
Aw... I visited this place a long time ago but didn’t take any photos back then. This time, I came too early for the roses to bloom. On top of that, we visited on a rainy day in May, so as you can see in my photos, there was almost nothing. However, I noticed that a newly opened coffee shop is now inside the garden. I’ll definitely come back next year.
It's a huge area that you will enjoy a millions of various varieties of roses that bloom here, the rose festive until 25th May 2024. There is no entrance fee. There are the parking spots here during the festival time.
The amount and variety of roses is just magnificent. Apart of gardens of roses, there was also a tunnel of roses for you to walk through which is the distance of like three train stations and took me 40mins to stroll through. Kinda out of the way from central Seoul where the happenings are but worth visiting if you have the time.
