Goyang
Goyang is a large satellite city just northwest of Seoul, built around the planned new town of Ilsan, known for the sprawling Ilsan Lake Park, the KINTEX convention and exhibition center, and one of Korea's biggest flower festivals. Despite its million-plus population, it feels distinctly suburban and green compared to central Seoul, with wide boulevards and lakeside parkland threading through its districts.
