You might have noticed the overpass road next to the Seoul Station if you’ve been to Seoul before. This overpass was built in 1970 and deteriorated over time that it started facing safety issues for vehicle traffic.

However, instead of tearing it down, Seoul has chosen a more innovative and people-friendly way to change the ‘road for cars’ into a ‘road for people’!

‘Seoullo 7017‘ was named after ‘Seoul’ and ‘lo’, meaning road in the Korean language, ’70’ indicates the overpass was firstly built in 1970, and ’17’ represents the year 2017, when it is freshly reopened as a new tourism landmark of Seoul.

The former overpass way was now completely turned into a beautiful botanic garden!! Connecting total 17 pathways leading to all kinds of attractions in the center of Seoul, Seoullo 7017 also has tourists center, library, souvenir shops, flower shops, stages for all year round performace, and of course, Cafes selling Korean food and desserts!

Among the bloomings and greens, you can find many more interesting stuffs hiding on the road, no matter it is a peek hole allowing you to observe the cars running below you, or a huge art installation made of thousands of shoes. You might also run into various live performances if lucky!
