Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), a renowned architectural landmark in Seoul, now offers sunset rooftop tours accompanied by live music and meditation during select Fridays and Saturdays this fall. The 90-minute guided tour, operated by the Seoul Design Foundation, is set to run every Friday and Saturday from October 16th to November 21st.
This tour, which first took place last year, has been enhanced with live music and meditation experiences. DDP, designed by the late British Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, is a futuristic complex covered in silver aluminum panels that beautifully reflect the hues of the setting sun.
Upon arrival, participants stroll along the building's curving roof to soak in panoramic views of the city skyline. On Fridays, the rooftop comes alive with the performance of singer-songwriters and a flutist as the sky and sunset provide an awe-inspiring backdrop. On Saturdays, guests are treated to a meditation session accompanied by singing bowls, resonant instruments that create a calming atmosphere when struck or rubbed.
The tour sessions begin at 4:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. respectively, in October and from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in subsequent weeks.
