[Seo_Gu/Attraction] Seochang Sunset Field

Seochang Sunset Field

How would you like a fresh drive while viewing the sunset?

How would you like a bicycle ride along the river? 

I will introduce you to Seochang Sunset Field, 
which boasts its magnificent spectacle, 
and was selected as one of the Eight Scenic Views of Seo-gu. 

01 ｜Visit

 Seochang Field is known as the most extensive field in Gwangju.~

As soon as we arrived, the spacious Yeongsan River greeted us!

We were tired after the intense trip, however, we felt relieved as soon as we stood on the field. 

  

This is the sunset I photographed thirty minutes before the sun  set.

Isn’t the sun reflected on the river beautiful?

This place seems to be the ‘perfect’ place to

take a drive while viewing the sunset along the road!

 I feel that the most attractive thing at the Seochang Field were the reeds.

When the wind blows slightly, the reeds bump into each other, making a sound that creates a

 peaceful feeling. 

 I viewed the sunset for a while buried in the reeds,

and because this place was so silent, unlike the busy riverside of other areas,

I could organize my complicated thoughts.

The sunset I viewed within the reeds was a piece of art. 

 Bicycle paths are formed at Seochang Field.

Here families come and ride or teach others how to ride a bike

or members of clubs come and ride along the paths!

It was a pleasant sight to see.

I really want to recommend this place to those who enjoy riding a bicycle.

This is a picture of Seochang Sunset Field at ordinary times.

There were many clouds on the day we visited

so we could not see far,

However, this scenery makes me want to visit again!

I would have taken prettier pictures if the weather had been fine,

This is a place I wish to recommend to

those who normally like to ride bikes or or go for a drive.

I wasn’t able to record in more detail because the course was too long,

 However, you should visit this place to feel the nature of Gwangju!

02 ｜Information

 Information on the bicycle path is provided by the signs.J

The glow of the sunset spreads along the Yeongsan River.

In addition, there are bicycle paths, benches, and restrooms in a number of areas.

Take a visit as if you were visiting a park.

 * At Seochang-dong, “Manduri,” a forgotten Korean traditional play praying for a rich harvest,  is performed at the field in front of Seochang Folk Culture Village (next to Seochang-dong Office) from 10am from the end of July.

Viewing the Seochang Manduri Harvesting Ritual will make a more fulfilling trip.

03｜How to get there

Seochang field straight up the Yeongsangang River leading up to, and so I recommend you use a car, rather than public transportation.

Bus Terminal, Gwangju, Korea got off the public by a bus stop across from coming out of traffic toward the square in time you get when you go on.

That appears right in front of the bus stop is not a crosswalk then use the bus station located in front of VIPs and you must.
