The northeastern districts of Seoul are surrounded by mountains and therefore some great scenery can be found in this area. As with Seoul as a whole, the area is not lacking in busy, bustling districts, where shopping and restaurants can be found in abundance. However, escape from the city streets can be found in places like the beautiful Bukhansan National Park, and Seoul Forest. For the kids (big and small) Children’s Grand Park offers not only an escape from busy streets, but plenty of entertainment and fun too!
