Seonyudo, River island and ecological park in Seoul, South Korea.
The 0.11 square kilometer island in the Han River features gardens, water elements, and forest sections constructed with recycled materials throughout the space.
From 1978 to 2000, the island operated as a water filtration facility that supplied tap water to southwestern Seoul before its transformation into a park.
The name Seonyudo translates to an island where Taoist hermits play, reflecting Korean traditional connections to nature and spirituality.
The park opens daily from 6:00 AM to midnight, with access through the Seonyugyo Bridge connecting to Yanghwa Hangang River Park.
The park retained and incorporated elements from the former water treatment plant, including cement structures now covered with growing vegetation.
