When will the Nodeul Island construction begin? Closure schedule, picnic mats, sunset delivery, convenience stores, and restaurants.

Nodeul Island, a small island in the Han River in Seoul, is undergoing a major renovation. We've compiled information on the construction start date, usage restrictions, its advantages as a picnic and sunset spot, and even how to utilize delivery and convenience facilities.

 

1. When is the construction schedule for Nodeul Island?

 

Construction on Nodeul Island began in earnest on April 1, 2025, with the media façade at the lower level. Following this, construction on the ecological garden, walking path, and water garden along the waterfront and pier will begin on September 1, 2025, and is scheduled to continue until June 30, 2027.

 

This renovation was driven by the selection of British architect Thomas Heatherwick's "Soundscape" design, which draws inspiration from natural and musical patterns and features a skywalk canopy and curved metal structures. The plan is to preserve the existing architecture as much as possible to maintain its authenticity while also adding a new dimension to the space.

 

 

2. When exactly is the closure schedule?

Due to construction, rentals will be reduced starting in the second half of 2025. The schedule is subject to change based on government and Seoul city guidelines and construction progress, so please carefully review the announcement. The second half rental period will run from July 1 to December 30, 2025. The museum will be closed every Monday, and the outdoor space will be open 24 hours a day. Visitors and applicants are advised to be aware of the potential for noise, dust, and disruption to the landscape due to construction vehicles and heavy equipment.

 

3. Nodeul Island Picnic & Mat Tips

Nodeul Island is famous for its sunset views and picnic spots along the Han River. There are no picnic mat rentals on the island, so you'll need to rent one separately. Popular spots include the sunset and the Han River, and the tranquil Hangang Bridge. Nodeul Island is a renowned photo spot, so if you secure a good spot, you'll have a quiet time.

 

Mat rental	1) Unmanned rental box at 'Picnic to Noddle' near Exit 3 of Noddle Station (24 hours, advance reservation required) 2) Purchase at a convenience store near Nodeul Station (approximately 6,000 won)
Popular spots	The lawn behind Nodulmadang – sunset and Han River view Under the Han River Bridge – Shade and seclusion Nearby amenities – tables and chairs available

 

4. Do you deliver? Recommend some local food!

Nodeul Island's delivery zone is located in front of the off-island bus stop, making it convenient for food delivery. You can order most popular menu items, including chicken, pizza, tteokbokki, and kimbap. Order via a delivery app and pick up at the designated location. There's a BHC store and a MeT:me convenience store on the island, which sell Hangang Ramen, snacks, mats, and basic over-the-counter medications.

 

5. Things to note when visiting Nodeul Island

While there is parking, it can get crowded on weekends and evenings, so public transportation is recommended. The subway is conveniently located near several lines, making it easily accessible. Please note that access to some waterfront areas and lower areas may be restricted during construction. While the outdoor area is open 24 hours a day, please be sure to check the operating hours of the indoor facilities.
