Nanjido

About

World Cup Park is an ecological park built in Sangamdong-gil, in Seoul, South Korea. The park was established on May 1, 2002 in anticipation of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Games. World Cup Park is subdivided into five parks: Pyeonghwa Park (Peace Park), Haneul Park (Sky Park), Noeul Park (Sunset Park), Nanjicheon Park, and Hangang Riverside Park. The park is mostly composed of the former island Nanjido (Hanja, lit. 'orchid island'). That island was joined to the mainland in 1977.
