Central Park Station
Songdo Central Park
Exit 3, Park entrance
By looking around the Songdo International City, you can get an idea of what a futuristic city would look like. A long waterway runs through the middle of the park, allowing for water taxis to transport passengers to and from desired locations. The hanok (traditional Korean house) village nestled amid fancy skyscrapers, and the uniquely designed Tri-bowl, a multi-purpose culture & art space, make Songdo even more attractive than it already is. And the observatory on the 65th floor of the Northeast Asia Trade Tower offers magnificent views of the city.
