Visit Amorepacific Headquarters Building
The Amorepacific Headquarters Building is home to Korea’s largest cosmetics company. Completed in 2017 and designed by renowned architect David Chipperfield, this sleek cube-shaped tower was inspired by the smooth curves of a baekja moon jar—a classic piece of Korean white porcelain. On the 2nd floor, we’ll visit the Amore Store, where you can explore the company’s famous brands like Sulwhasoo, Laneige, and Innisfree. You can even try a skin tone analysis to find products perfectly matched to your complexion.
Explore & shop at I’Park Mall
I’Park Mall, opened in 2004 and recently renovated, is one of Seoul’s largest shopping complexes connected to Yongsan Station. It’s popular with young locals for its trendy shops, stylish cafés, and diverse dining options. The mall houses Yongsan CGV, Korea’s largest cinema, featuring the country’s and one of the world’s biggest IMAX screens. Visitors can enjoy cutting-edge sound and visuals, plus various entertainment zones and a large bookstore. Seasonal events and pop-ups keep the mall lively year-round. Whether shopping, dining, or watching movies, I’Park Mall offers a complete experience.
Dinner: Dakgalbi (stir-fried spicy chicken) or Grilled Samgyeopsal
You can choose between dakgalbi (stir-fried spicy chicken) or samgyeopsal (Korean BBQ pork belly). Both are beloved Korean comfort foods, perfect after an afternoon of walking.
Stroll along the "Ttaeng Ttaeng Street" railway in Hangang-ro-dong
After dinner, we’ll take a short stroll to “Ttaeng Ttaeng Street” in Hangang-ro-dong. This small alley runs along an old railway line, with trains occasionally passing by. Its name comes from the distinctive “ttaeng ttaeng” bell sound heard before trains approach. It’s a hidden local spot that gives you a glimpse of Seoul’s quieter, everyday charm. This spot was featured in the hit Korean drama “My Mister”.
Han River walk & night view (enjoy canned beer)
As night falls, the Hangang river transforms into a glittering ribbon beneath the Seoul skyline. The water reflects the colors of neon signs, bridge lights, and passing boats. We’ll follow a riverside path where the air feels fresher and calmer. The sound of gentle waves blends with distant city noise, creating a peaceful mood. You can crack open a chilled can of beer or a soft drink as we walk.
Couples, friends, and cyclists share the path, adding to the river’s lively yet relaxed vibe. We’ll stop at a scenic spot where the skyline appears in full panorama. This is the perfect place to take photos or simply pause to appreciate the moment. You’ll feel time slow down, letting you savor the city’s romantic side. Our walk ends here, with the Hangang River’s lights shimmering in your memory.
