Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore spacious parks, the Han River and Achasan’s lower slopes in Gwangjin. Choose Children’s Grand Park or Ttukseom for your first outing rather than combining every area in a short walk.

This guide covers places within Gwangjin District, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

03

A first-visit stop

Achasan Ecological Park

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The district features the Konkuk University food street and Jayang-dong lamb-skewer alley. Browse skewered lamb dishes without treating the area as their place of origin; check each shop’s ingredients, seasoning and availability.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Children’s Grand Park station → the main gate → marked park paths. Choose a place to pause, saving the river park, Achasan and Jayang-dong food streets for separate visits.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect visitor areas and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
