Campus tour of Yonsei University

Today, we visited one of the top three universities in Korea, Yonsei University, located in Sinchon. The beautiful and representative European-style architecture is also the largest private university campus in Seoul.

In addition, Yonsei University is also a shooting location for many Korean dramas. Dramas like One Fine Day, Goddess of Fire, and Cheer Up were filmed at Yonsei University.

From the main gate of Yonsei University, Yonsei students pass by Baekyang Road, the library, the student union building, and then the dormitory location and transportation every day.

Baekyang Road

Baekyang ro, where Yonsei students walk almost every day

In the past, Baekyang ro was named because it was planted with rows of white poplar trees. However, due to the difficulty of planting and maintaining white poplar trees, after the reconstruction of Baekyang ro, they have all been replaced with rows of ginkgo trees.

Beautiful and spacious Baekyang ro is the pride of Yonsei University. In autumn, it will turn into a row of golden yellow, very beautiful.
