Picturesque cycling route down the Han River

#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.

living the kdrama life

#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

The Kimchi land called Seoul

#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.

The prettiest Starbucks in Korea

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

Autumn landscape of Dongjak Bridge

🇰🇷 Hangang River

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

Golden Sunsets at Han River

Autumn at the Han River is an experience like no other. The cool breeze rustling through amber leaves set the stage for my day. Started off with a delightful sandwich from Emart24, the perfect companion for a riverside stroll. As the sun began its descent, painting the sky in hues of gold and crimson, I settled into Starbucks. With a steaming coffee by my side, I got some work done, all while being serenaded by the mesmerizing sunset over the river. #HanRiverMagic #AutumnInSeoul #StarbucksSunsets #Emart24OnTheGo #SeoulDiaries

Currently, the hottest Han River view café is "Type Han River" 🌊.

📍Type Hangang - The Hottest Han River View Cafe Nowadays 🌇 Type Hangang, located on the 5th floor of the Sangsu-dong Seogang Building, offers a panoramic view of the Han River that can be enjoyed while sipping coffee or wine. As soon as the elevator door opens on the 5th floor, you will notice the Diter Rams speaker right in front of you. Then, turning your gaze inside the cafe, you'll be captivated by the modern lighting and furniture, as well as the stunning Han River view as a bonus. However, there are some precautions to keep in mind when using this cafe, such as the two-hour usage limit and the prohibition of laptop use after 6 PM. I assume this is due to the wine menu that is served during the evening hours. One downside was that there were many people waiting even before the opening time, but there was no separate waiting system, and we had to wait in the lobby on the first floor of the building. 📍Type Hangang Address: Sangsu-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, 128 Tojeong-ro, Seogang 8-gyeong Building, 5th floor ⌚️Hours: 12:00-22:00 (closed on Mondays) Wine menu available from 6 PM 🏷 Parking available: Valet parking (fee required) #hotspot #caferecommendation #HanRiverViewCafe #Couple #TypeHangang

The Han River divides the capital city of South Korea, and it’s one of the many attractions in Seoul as parks are located nearby, several activities are done in their different bridges, there are cruise trips and acquatic events during summer... plus it has a historical value as it served as a defense line as well as trade route in ancient times. I was fortunate to capture some shots when it was frozen during a cold winter 😊. #GiveThanks
