As autumn weather draws crowds outdoors, Seoul is ramping up financial perks for parkgoers and diners ordering delivery, doubling down on its public delivery alternative amid rising food costs. Starting Thursday, the Seoul Metropolitan Government will expand its dedicated delivery discount initiative across all 11 Han River parks, covering 17 designated drop-off zones. Under the expanded scheme, running through Nov. 30, visitors who order 25,000 won ($18.40) or more worth of food using the city’s public platform, Seoul Delivery Plus Ddangyo, will receive an immediate 3,000 won discount.

Customers paying with Seoul Love Gift Certificates will gain additional rewards. Orders exceeding 15,000 won yield a 3,000 won rebate, while purchases over 25,000 won earn a 5,000 won digital voucher ret
