Ilsan’s Lake Park

 
      

Today, Brad and I decided that the best cure for our soju hangovers was to get out of the apartment and visit Lake Park in Ilsan. It was totally worth the 30 minute trip. The weather was perfect, and Ilsan is such a beautiful city. There are a lot of open spaces, and Lake Park is such a nice place to just stroll and relax. It was a nice start to Chuseok.

From Wikipedia: Compared to Deogyang-gu, which makes up the rest of Goyang, the recently developed area of Ilsan-gu is more organized and planned, and its residents are generally more affluent. Ilsan is located northwest of Seoul. Like other satellite cities in the Seoul National Capital Area such as Bundang and Pyeongchon, Ilsan was planned in order to alleviate housing shortages in the city of Seoul. Ilsan has experienced phenomenal growth in the past 15 years, usually drawing in younger generations of upper middle-class and upper-class Koreans.
