What is the Hangang River?

The Hangang River, often referred to simply as the Han River, is a significant waterway that flows through the heart of Seoul, South Korea. Spanning approximately 494 kilometers, it is one of the longest rivers in the Korean Peninsula and plays a crucial role in the daily lives of Seoul’s residents. The river is not just a geographical feature but a cultural and recreational hub, with several parks and recreational areas lining its banks. These spaces offer a variety of leisure activities, from cycling and picnicking to boat rides and seasonal festivals. Historically, the Hangang has been vital for transportation, agriculture, and as a strategic location during various periods of Korean history. Today, it serves as a serene backdrop for the bustling metropolis, offering an oasis of calm and beautiful vistas, especially when illuminated by the city lights at night. The Hangang River, with its picturesque landscapes and vibrant culture, becomes particularly enchanting during the holiday season, making it an ideal setting for the Romantic Hangang Christmas Market.
