S

eoul’s lively character comes to
life in a variety of different ways

Marina Club & Yacht is the city’s first

a whole range of business events,
including promotions, festivals and
meetings, while its marina provides
power yachts for river-based activities.
Its clubhouse facilities include the
Italian restaurant Café Breeze and
three convention halls. Although open

place to enjoy the balmy Hangang to
the fullest during the summer.
Autumn: Samcheonggak
A traditional Korean mountain retreat in

autumn, however, the unique venue

events.
