Covering approximately 11,000 square meters, the Yongshan azaleas fill the entire area. Thanks to their unique characteristic of blooming before the leaves emerge, the flowers create an uninterrupted blanket of red. Word has spread that you can capture a perfect photo for your social media anywhere along the flower paths, leading to enthusiastic responses on Instagram, blogs, and other social networking services (SNS).

The densely planted azaleas in the garden fill the field of view, evoking a blissful illusion as if one is standing in the midst of a sea of flowers, far removed from reality.

Visitors from nearby municipalities who heard the rumors are also highly satisfied. One visitor from Gangdong-gu, Seoul, who came to the azalea garden, shared, "There was so much buzz about the azaleas at Misa Hangang Park, even in Gangdong-gu, that I visited with my family. Seeing it in person, it was far more dazzling and beautiful than I expected. I felt like I enjoyed the perfect spring outing without having to travel far."

The appeal of this place goes beyond just enjoying the view. With its location adjacent to the Seondong IC entrance, it is easily accessible. The 'Forest Playground' and 'Forest Library' within the park offer the perfect rest spot for families with children. While children run freely in nature, adults can turn the pages of a book under the shade of a tree or relax on benches, enjoying the flower-lined paths and a break from daily life.

The organically connected walking trails from Misa Hangang Park No. 1 through No. 5 are a key element that enhances the charm of the riverside. Strolling along the lingering beauty of the azalea garden, one encounters peaceful everyday scenes: the blue waves of the Han River, citizens walking their dogs, and people riding bicycles. Especially from the 2nd observation deck, called Misagangbyeonmaru, visitors are treated to a watercolor-like panorama of the Han River flowing beyond the red flower fields, with the ridges of Geomdansan and Achasan mountains—an ideal spot to pause and reflect.

The convenience of visiting without worrying about parking is another major draw for visitors. The public parking lot within the park offers free parking for up to two hours, allowing ample time to enjoy the flowers and a walk, even during a short visit. There is no better place in the city to escape the urban jungle and receive the gentle comfort that nature provides.

An official from Hanam City stated, "The azalea garden at Misa Hangang Park is a precious space where you can fully experience the colors of nature and the flow of the seasons, even in the heart of the city. We will continue to carefully maintain the park so that citizens can find a pause in their lives in harmony with nature, while also expanding the green infrastructure by connecting with the hydrangea garden at Misa Hangang Park No. 1, the red clay path at Misa Hangang Park No. 5, and the Gusan Forest."
