September 2017. Day 5 in Korea. Husband went to Incheon for a meeting early in the morning. Since I have no schedule today, I decided to walk to Kintex (Korea largest exhibition centre) and Ilsan Lake Park (one of the Asia largest man-made lake park) for a visit. As our hotel is nearby Daehwa station, I begin from the walk from Daehwa station Exit 2. After cross the street via traffic light~ there is a stone signage indicated that this is a walkway to Kintex~ a beautiful walkway between apartment blocks with trees on both sides. It's about 5 mins walk (approx. 300m). Along the way locals or residents can bee see exercising or hang-around at the recreation area.
I briefly look around both Kintex 1 and Kintex 2 including make a pit stop at the tourism desk to obtain map of Ilsan lake park and Goyang-si. However the short visit took nearly an hour as the exhibition is really huge! After get my coffee of the day~ iced caffe latte from Twosome Place at Kintex 2, I then begin my walk to Ilsan Lake Park from Kintex 2 main gate (Gate 2) where there's a huge luggage as landmark. Walk out thru the side way of the gate, continue the journey by walk thru a pedestrian tunnel, I found a beautiful flower wall painting but kind of spooky feel inside the tunnel as it has spider web here and there (as if the tunnel is not being used for sometimes...)
After walk out from the tunnel, continue to head straight for 8 mins until reach a overhead bridge where Hyundai Department Store is located opposite the main road. Use the overhead bridge crossover the main road to Hyundai Department Store. And continue to head straight on left hand side direction to walk pass Hyundai Dept Store.
After walk pass Hyundai Department Store until the end of it's building, turn right after the building corner and continue to head straight. Along the way I walk pass Homeplus and Lotte Vic Mart as well where I need to cross a main road via traffic light. About about 10 mins walk including a quick browse of the mart and a toilet break at Lotte Vic Mart, I reached one of the nearest Ilsan lakeside park entrance which is located at the overhead bridge that connects the Lakeside Apartments and Lake Park.
Just take stairs go up to the overhead bridge and the park entrance is there right at the end of the bridge. This entrance is the entrance of Ilsan Lake Park where the musical fountain is. Further walk down for another 5 to 10 mins there is another bigger entrance of Lake Park so even if I miss out this overhead bridge I still can go into Lake Park thru other entrance. If you wish to know more about the Ilsan Lake Park, do check out my upcoming post on it~
