Apgujeong Graffiti Tunnel

Hello, welcome to my blog once again! :D today, I will talk about the interesting tunnel in Apgujeong, Seoul, Korea. It is a graffiti tunnel that many creatives gather here to crate the graffiti all over the wall by using a spray coloring. Well… some people might think that those people spraying colors to wall are considered as a crime as it is destroying public utility and making an unpresentable environment. But if you see the graffiti of the Apgujeong Tunnel, you will sure change you view of it. For me, I don’t really like those painting on the walls too. I think it looks cruel and scary!! Hahaah! But after I saw this tunnel, I am starting to love it. I need to go to this tunnel every time I go to Korea!

I will tell you how I found this tunnel! As I always staying around the Apgujeong area with my sisters and friends there so I heard so many people talking about this graffiti tunnel and I also saw my sisters taking picture there. As it is just a walking distance from where I stay! So I asked my sister to bring me there. I remembered we go there around midnight during winter!! Hahahah it was quiet and cold :0 and it was so darkkkkkkkk! We walked along a small park beside Han River as this tunnel is a tunnel starting from the park and go through the Han River. Eventhough  I still saw family and some people playing at the park at night but I recommend you to not go alone at night anyway… I didn’t mean that it is dangerous.. the area is really close to the Apgujeong Shopping Street but it is a residential and school area, so it might be a bit quiet. Walking to end of the park, you will see the entrance of the tunnel. There were spotlights inside the tunnel so it was not scary at all even you go there at midnight! But please be careful of the bicycles because many people were cycling inside this tunnel to go to the Han River. Walking to the end of the tunnel, it is a circle road around Han River as people usually use it to take a walk or cycling. There were many people even after midnight! And the spotlights made everything so beautiful during winter! >_<

Nowadays, the Apgujeong Graffiti Tunnel becomes more popular as many idols are using this place for shooting! Many couples also come here for a date!! The graffiti inside this tunnel is absolutely an art! It doesn’t look dirty at all! It is very clean^-^b the graffiti designs will usually change after a while. So it is an excitement and that is why I really want to go to this tunnel every time I visit Korea. Not only the beautiful graffiti, but the area there is so fresh and relax. You can usually order 치맥(Korean chicken and beer) to eat along the side of the Han River. Just by sitting and taking a deep breath along this area, you can feel energetic and relax. Don't worry that it might be dangerous, because the area around there contain CCTV to ensure your safety and as I told that there were many people even at late night. It is just that if you go at night(like me hahah  you might feel a little bit strange because it will be really quiet as you can even hear the sound of wind and wave from the river! :DD

If you want take picture with some cool background and the new scene of Korea, take a chance to this Apgujeong Graffiti Tunnel and you will love it like I do!(hearts)
