Experience a Hot Air Balloon Flight

Imagine embarking on a breathtaking journey above Yeouido and enjoying a new perspective on the unique charm of Seoul. The city’s latest landmark, the Seoul Moon, offers an extraordinary urban sightseeing experience.

The Seoul Moon, located in Yeouido Park, is a massive 22-meter-diameter, moon-shaped tethered helium sightseeing balloon. Its surface displays the Seoul city slogan introduced in 2023: “SEOUL MY SOUL.”

The Seoul Moon employs non-flammable helium for vertical flights, ensuring exceptional safety. The balloon is securely tethered to the ground with cables, minimizing the risk of straying from its designated flight area.

Riding the Seoul Moon takes you 150 meters into the air, where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of Seoul. The experience is especially enchanting at night, as the city lights create a dazzling spectacle. Each flight lasts approximately 15 minutes.

Currently, the Seoul Moon does not accept reservations. To board, visitors must queue on-site to receive a ticket number, wait for their number to be called, pay by card, undergo a safety briefing, and sign a consent form before boarding.

This was a very special trip for my big birthday where I wanted to take my two sons to China. Our travel professional was Jane, who answered my million questions, promptly and with the utmost patience. She provided us with the right apps to use, transportation assistance, personable and knowledgeable local guides who spoke English. Everything was absolutely perfect and I encourage anyone taking a big trip, to give yourself plenty of time. It took me 10 months to plan with Jane’s help. I plan to use Best Asia Tours again!

We traveled to China during 05th May to 17th May, 2026. Here goes our comment.

Guilin & Yangshuo:

Mr. Tom was an excellent guide in every aspect. He made every experience a great adventure and beyond. With his energy and knowledge, he adjusted the schedule with extra activities such as visiting the pandas, which made it extra special. He is good at explaining everything in a clear and succinct way, since much is guiding us, we loved our time in China and couldn’t have done it without Tom. He is also frequently offering helpful knowledge we very much appreciated. He also took great pictures of us. Mr. Kong, the driver is very courteous & flexible.

Zhangjiajie, Furong & Fenghuang town:

Allen is a capable and smart guide who has an optimistic and patient personality. We feel fortunate to have her. She is very good at arranging the schedule and navigating the towns’ sights in an efficient manner. We appreciate her help to negotiate with the photographer and provide us good seats and advice. The driver Mr. Lee is a safe & excellent driver who is courteous to us, other drivers and pedestrians. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Zhengzhou area. The hotel was excellent!

Beijing:

Ray Liu is a very knowledgeable and smart guide with excellent English. We learned a lot from him about Chinese history, culture, and current life. He is on time and capable. He shared with us a lot of interesting facts and information, and it was easy to talk to him because he is friendly, talkative and has fluent English. Ray knows his way around & got us everywhere, and it was nice there was a charge port in the back. He can be more courteous to bikers & pedestrians, but we got everywhere safely.
