Lonely Planet review

Costing US$151 million, the spectacular 64,000-seat World Cup Stadium was built to stage the opening ceremony and some of the matches of the 2002 World Cup soccer finals, which Korea cohosted with Japan. Under the stadium is CGV (1544 1122), a five-screen cinema multiplex showing films from to after midnight. Also in the mall are many small shops, a food court, Starbucks and Carrefour, a giant hypermarket with food and household goods.

Around the stadium are large parks cleverly reclaimed from landfill sites and returned to a natural state.
