In spring, numerous flowers come in full bloom in seoul, but forsythias, azaleas, rhododendrons, and cherry blossoms can especially be appreciated around the city. In summer, the swimming pools open at Hangang Park, and refreshing, grand fountains cool the passersby near the big attractions. Hiking is ideal in the fall when the foliage becomes dappled with red and yellow, along with blooming silver grass. In the cold winter, skating rinks open at seoul Plaza and at MBC Mall Park where visitors can enjoy exciting winter sports.
