Brand New Botanic Park
Hi, this is TAP :)
Do you know that Botanic garden was built as twice as magnitude of Yeouido garden in Seoul recently?
How about the fact you can enter this garden for free because of temporary open?
We're gonna recognize information and a review of this Seoul botanic park for you who doesn't have any idea about there :)
Seoul Botanic Park
What this park is for
Seoul Botanic Park is a place which was made at Magok, Seoul to introduce plant and plant culture of twelve cities all over the world and to get higher eco-sensitivity.
Someone told us this garden was built in Seoul because botanic parks in Korea usually located in suburb, so Seoul citizens weren't easy to enjoy plants.
" Seoul Botanic Park was opened temporary on Oct 11th 2018,
and will open officially around May 2019."

In tropical section, there are Vietnamese, Indonesian, Brazilian and Colombian plants.
And in Mediterranean section, there are American, Spanish or some plants.
You must feel warm as soon as you enter this green house in cold Winter.
Some miracle you have to take off your clothes...
Just be careful with your glasses and camera lens because there has high moisture so make your stuff steamed up.
Take your handkerchief just in case :)
This greenhouse has many different plants from louts to baobab trees.
I don' think the size of this park is that big, but there are so many kinds of cute plants.
So it was good to see various plants.
Because of this feature, many photographers or someone who love to take pictures were there.
And they took pictures of plants a lot.
That's where so many people from all over the country visit :)
If you go up one floor more after watching the greenhouse, there is a place you can see all greenhouse from top.
I recommend you go upstairs and look down at the greenhouse because there aren't just small flowers but some tall trees.
Moreover you can capture the whole garden in this pretty way.
I think this angle is the best angle that you can capture both yourself and inside the Seoul Botanic Park.
It feels like the hot air balloons are floating.
After watching from the top, I went to take shoot the waterfall I passed at first.
Even if it's an artificial waterfall, but the pictures are so pretty, isn't it?
If you turn your shutter speed up, you can catch the moment of the water's dripping.
Someone said that photography is an art that captures moments,
I think only thing that can record beautiful moment is a photo.
So that's why I turn up my camera everywhere.
To record everything I saw.
It's just a picture taken on the wall, but that has another special feeling.
Now I'm going to take a hot-air balloon.
Some hot air balloons are floating around and intriguing me.
One of them is tied to a position where you can hold it like this way.
Kids would love them.
and if you jump like this and take a picture, you can feel like you're on a hot air balloon, even if I failed :(
I think it would be nice to have unique and interesting photo.
Lastly, we will give you some tips.
