This is Haneul Park, near the World Cup Stadium. It’s an architectural and
ecological wonder, as this huge hill/mountain is made from garbage! Instead of
burning garbage, or dumping it into the ocean, they created layers of garbage
and soil, and made a beautiful hilly park, perfect for walking or bicycling.
The garbage emits methane and other gases, which is collected by sophisticated
machinery, and reused for energy. Engineers from many countries have visited
this park to admire and learn. At the top, all you can see is the sky above.
It’s only at the edges of the top where you can see awesome views of the city.
A pathway made of
rocks to walk barefoot on. I tried it and couldn’t last 5 meters. So painful!
It’s supposed to help blood circulation. I think it helps jack.
Interesting looking
veggies growing at the park.
What is this??
I love meandering, esp. when cool things pop up unexpectedly. Like this fantastic off-path
area called Bookchon, near Gwanghwamun, lined with
little shops and eateries.
Stay tuned for posts about Busan, Kangwondo, and my hair salon experience ^^
