Korean traditional games such as the Korean hacky sack and arrow throwing aimed at engaging foreign tourists will be available at Seoul Forest Park in Seongdong District, Seoul.
The Seoul city government on Wednesday said English services will be available to assist foreign visitors exploring the park.
These games will take place at the visitors' center every weekend, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Additionally, the park will introduce a scavenger hunt-style activity where tourists will receive mission instructions in English.
The objective of this game is to encourage exploration of the park and to deepen understanding of its history.
The Seoul city government said it plans to expand tailored programs to cater to diverse groups including children, older citizens and people with disabilities.
“We hope that foreign tourists will create fond memories from their experiences in playing Korean traditional games at the iconic park,” said Kim In-sook, who leads the management center for the eastern park at the Seoul city government.
