ONDA LOCAL GUIDE
Plan the route and time you need before visiting
Separate a waterside walk from a boat outing at Songdo Central Park. Park access and boat operating hours are different, especially in changing weather.
Our suggestion: walk beside the water first, then decide on a boat ride after checking operations. For skyline photography only, prioritize your return transport instead of boat opening hours.
