I Found a Unique Theme Park in a High-Tech City

I visited a theme park in Seoul called Yongma Land. It was closed for 15 years, but now it's open again. The park has a merry-go-round and other old rides. When I was there, two men were smoking, and many stray cats were walking around. The park used to be popular, but then it had financial problems. Now, people can visit for a small fee. The park is very different from the rest of Seoul, which is a very modern city.

Yongma Land is a strange place.

The park's owners decided to reopen it as a tourist attraction. Visitors can pay a small fee to explore the park. I visited on a hot day in April and saw many old rides. The park has a big, old octopus ride and a pirate ship. Some rides are still working, but many are broken. The park is very run-down, but it's still interesting to visit.

The theme park has been falling apart for many years.

I asked the owner if I could climb on some of the rides. He said it was okay, which was surprising because Seoul is a city with many rules. The city is very clean and safe, but Yongma Land is different. Many famous K-pop groups have filmed music videos there, and it's also been used as a location for TV shows.

Yongma Land is also a popular place for wedding photos.

The park is a unique place in a very modern city. Seoul is a big city with many people, but it's also very affordable. However, the city is facing some economic problems due to the global energy crisis. This could affect the city's future, just like Yongma Land's past.

You can buy tickets to visit Yongma Land at the door. The price is 5,000 won, which is about £2.50. Some tour companies offer visits to the park as part of their tours of Seoul. You can fly to Seoul with Virgin Atlantic from London Heathrow.
