[Monthly Seoul: August]
A Refreshing Summer at Hongjepokpo Falls, an Urban Oasis in Seodaemun

Take a leisurely walk along the Hongjecheon Stream trail,

and you’ll come across the magnificent Hongjepokpo Falls

cascading through the heart of the city.

Under the blue sky, white streams of water

rush over rugged rocks and burst into a refreshing spray.

The peaceful sight of people strolling beside the waterfall

makes you pause amid the rush of daily life,

as though you’ve arrived at a summer retreat. 💙

When you feel like taking a break

and listening to the refreshing sound of the waterfall,

stop by Cafe Pokpo or the Arumin Library across the way.

Sit on the outdoor terrace,

take in the open view of the waterfall,

and unwind with a good book

for the perfect escape in the heart of the city. ☕️

With fresh natural scenery by day

and romantic landscape lighting by night,

capture your own refreshing summer moments in Seoul. 🌿

📍 Hongjepokpo Falls, Seodaemun

170-181 Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul
