#wheretogo I had the opportunity to explore Seoul on a bicycle along the Hangang River Cycling Path (한강 자전거길) on a cold autumn day. The Hangang River Bicycle Path is a picturesque cycling route along the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. Stretching for approximately 55km, this scenic trail winds through Seoul and its surrounding areas, offering a blend of urban and natural landscapes. I was able to enjoy stunning views of the river, lush parks, and iconic landmarks like Banpo Bridge with its Moonlight Rainbow Fountain. The path is well-maintained and includes various rest areas, bike rental stations, and amenities for convenience. It caters to cyclists of all skill levels, with separate lanes for pedestrians, making it a popular spot for leisurely rides, exercise, and even commuting. Particularly, since it was autumn, I was also able to enjoy the fall scenery and autumn foliage with the various colour shades of yellow, autumn and red. This is a route highly popular with both locals and tourists and certainly very much recommended.

#seoul This is an attractive park along the edge of the river in Seoul. Super nice place to just chill out and walk around a bit. You get a superb view of the town. You still see sky scrapers in the distance and occasional reminders that you are still in a big city. Even so, it is a peaceful place to relax and see friendly local people. There are many things to do, and you can take short routes or long routes for walking. Locals gather here, order takeout and set up tents and picnics for the evening. We had a picnic here and it was a hreat experience as i feel like I'm shooting a kdrama scene. I'm living my kdrama dreams. I just felt something in my heart that i cant even describe it. If you don't have a picnic mat, fret not because there will be people selling. Likewise, there will be a lot of pushcarts on that day, so you don't have to worry about food while enjoying the view. There are bikes for rental and this may be a better idea if you wish to finish the whole path. This is a great place to meditate and think about life. And it is a great place for taking a picture, and just be mesmerized at the view of Hangang river and Cruise. Really worth the hype and the visit. #korea #hangangriverpark #picnic #river #vacation

#seoul A wonder Seoul was full of adventures and cultural places. At the famous shrine, can enjoy with Korean ancient dressing and rolling around the shrine made me feel so dramatic. Seoul has a amusement theme park, snow sliding events during the winter. I can’t ignore the Korean foods as well. And the popular Hangan river is one of the travel spot of Seoul. Over 50 kinds of kimchi can be tasted in Seoul. And Myeong-dom market, several kinds of Korean tasty foods can be found.

A cafe on the Hangang River, and it was Starbucks, so I ran there right away! Not only Starbucks, but also an exhibition, and it was great to enjoy Starbucks while enjoying the Hangang River. It was beautiful during the day, at sunset, and at night, so I liked the Starbucks at Jamwon Hangang Park. It wasn't the weekend, and even though it was a weekday afternoon, there were no window seats. #Starbucks #Jamwon Hangang Park

#fallingforfall 📍Dongjak Bridge Dongjak Bridge is a bridge over the Han River in Seoul. You can walk over this bridge with a stunning view of the Han river. It was a must do for me so I did it !! #hanriver #seoul #bridge #southkorea #southkoreatravel

A beautiful river for everyone to come and congregate during different seasons. I went to Seoul in September and the weather was great. Many locals are out having picnics and gathering at the park. They are here in the morning to get a good spot and stay until dark. Everyone will bring their picnic tables and chairs and even setup tents too. If you are visiting and do not have any picnic equipment, you do not have to worry. There are vendors selling them too. If you are buying, please also buy their lighted lamps, it will look cute after dark. Have a seoul-prise in South Korea. #bucketlistreboot #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

🤍Address: 139 Gangbyeonbuk-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul 🤍Review: Introducing 'Ttukseom Hangang Park', a great place for a picnic. Ttukseom Hangang Park is a Hangang park where you can enjoy romance and youth while feeling the cool breeze, and is famous as a picnic mecca. Please note that there are places to rent mats and tents nearby! I recommend ordering delivery food from Ttukseom Hangang Park or taking it out from Konkuk University and having a picnic.

The Ramyun Library boasts a selection of 225 different types of ramen, not just from Korea, but from Japan, Indonesia and Vietnam as well. There are 2 outlets of this in CU in seoul. I had been to the one at Hans River , the other one is located in Hongdae. Eating ramyeon at the Han River in Seoul AND visiting the Ramyun Library is definitely one of the checklist for first timer ;D The night time view by the Han River is stunning! Directions: Take Seoul subway Line 2 to Jamsilsaenae Station. Make a right out of Exit 7, then walk straight for about 300-metres until you reach the T-intersection at the end of the street. Cross through the tunnel to enter Jamsil Hangang Park, then walk all the way down to the river’s edge. Turn left, and walk about 200-metres. You’ll see the CU convenience store on the right hand side, at the bottom of a short flight of outdoor stairs. It’s in the same place as the Jamsil E-land Cruise dock. In the refrigerated section you can find things to add to your ramen like individual packages of green onion, bean sprouts and jalapeños, cheese, sausages and of course raw eggs. There are both soft boiled and hard boiled eggs if you want to go that route, but check the packaging carefully and make sure you know exactly what you’re getting. Once you’ve picked out everything you want, head over to the cash register to pay. The cashier will ask if you are taking the ramen to go or if you’re eating-in. Once you pay, they will give you the bowl to cook your ramen in. Napkins and chopsticks can be found at the individual ramen tables. **Pro Tip: Table space is limited, so you definitely want grab yourself a table before you get started. In Korea it’s pretty common for people to “reserve” a table by leaving their phone, purse, etc. on the table while they order but maybe you can put your umbrella or tissue paper( i dont recommend your phone or purse for sure)

The Han River is a significant river in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Along its banks, there are numerous tourist attractions and parks. It is a popular spot for Koreans to have picnics, chat with friends, or go on dates while enjoying the river and bridge views. If you are traveling to Korea and have some free time in your itinerary, try experiencing the relaxing atmosphere along the Han River, just like the locals do.

Ara Bicycle Path is a great place for fitness. The intersection of Ara Bicycle Path and Han River Bicycle Path is quite crowded. There are food trucks and restrooms nearby, and even people repairing bicycles. It is one of the national bicycle path certification centers. The length from Ara West Sea Lock to Ara Hangang Lock is 21 kilometers, with almost no uphill. This bicycle path was developed along with the construction of the Arab Waterway. It is a long and flat route with little change in scenery, so it might be a bit boring. However, near Gimpo Airport, watching planes take off and land all day is quite nice, and occasionally seeing ships pass by is also interesting.

#newyearnewtrip Visit hangang river area for some nice cooling breeze and for an experience to cook instant noodles outside! You can visit this area for photos and also visit the convenience store to purchase your inside noodles. They provide you with the bowl to cook it on the machine located outside the store. You could also purchase ingredients to go with the noodles in the store as well!

🏠 Seongsu Squid Game Pop-up. Visiting the pop-up store made me realize the importance of interactive events. There were many elements that allowed visitors to not just watch but also experience firsthand, creating great memories not only for drama fans but also for general visitors. The final prize draw event, in particular, added a sense of anticipation for all participants. The interior, which utilized iconic objects from the drama, was especially impressive, and even those who didn't participate in the games could have a lot of fun just by taking photos.

#NovemberTravelSupportEvent It's great for healing while looking at the beautiful night view of the Hangang River in the heart of Seoul. The Hangang River is also famous for its night view restaurants, so it's always popular!! The Hangang River is a place where you can see such a beautiful view, from the sunset to the sparkling night view! I recommend Jamwon Hangang Park or Banpo Hangang Park!!

When thinking of beautiful, comfortable, and vibrant places, Yeouido Hangang Park is a great choice. The majestic Han River and the beautiful cityscape complement each other perfectly. Enjoying the panoramic view bathed in sunlight is a feast for the senses. Besides the enchanting scenery, the park also showcases its true magic. Sitting on a bench with a warm cup of coffee in hand, finding solace in the gentle murmur of the river and the soft hum of the city, it is a symphony of tranquility amidst urban vitality. This serene haven provides the perfect space for contemplation, allowing one to experience the vibrant offerings of Seoul while enjoying a comfortable and leisurely retreat. Yeouido Hangang Park is not only a testament to the city's beauty but also a sanctuary for weary travelers seeking a moment of peace and rejuvenation. No need to rush, calm your mind, take a leisurely stroll, feel the breath of nature and the city, relax in leisure, escape the fast-paced lifestyle, truly experience the meaning of life, encounter beautiful scenery, stop and quietly appreciate it, take out your camera, and capture the beauty before you. A great place, highly recommended.
