Arrive at the shore of Lake Bomun. The lake is a local getaway for spring cherry blossoms and summer concerts, but outside the busy season it is remarkably quiet. Find a spot facing west to watch the sun come up.
07:32
Watch the sunrise. On this date the sun rises at 07:32 and the golden light begins around 16:53, setting toward the WSW. The water reflects the early morning sky.

Walk to LLOW Coffee for breakfast or coffee. It is open from 10:00, so arrive by then to enjoy a warm drink in a local café setting.
Local tip
Lake Bomun is very busy in the summer. For a peaceful sunrise, visit outside the peak season. LLOW Coffee opens at 10:00, so time your walk to arrive right when it opens.
