#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.

✨️This weekend, if you're looking for a cafe with a view of the Han River that's great for enjoying the sunset, pay attention✨️ After looking at the advantages I felt, choose the one you like the most and visit it:) ✅️Photo spot: Chaeguro = Le Fleur > Hills Cafe -Chaeguro has various spots in the hallways and inside the cafe, but compared to Le Fleur with its well-decorated rooftop, it was a bit difficult to find a photo spot at Hills Cafe. ✅️View point -Chaeguro: You can enjoy Mapo Bridge and Yeouido ifc Mall along with the sunset. -Le Fleur: It has an open view of the 63 Building, but the sun doesn't set directly in front of you, so there may be no sunset. -Hills Cafe: It has a view of the National Assembly Building, but the sun sets on the opposite side of the view, so there may be no sunset. (The sunset from the entrance of the cafe is beautiful) ✅️Hangang view: Chaeguro = Le Fleur > Hills Cafe - Chaeguro, where you can enjoy the Hangang River up close, felt a bit distant compared to Le Fleur. ✅️Openness: Le Fleur > Hills Cafe > Chaeguro - Le Fleur has an open rooftop, and compared to Hills Cafe, Chaeguro doesn't have a rooftop. ✅️Crowding: Chaeguro > Le Fleur > Hills Cafe (weekdays) - Chaeguro feels full even on weekdays, Le Fleur has 2 or 3 groups per floor, and Hills Cafe is mostly used by one person ✅️Drinks: Le Fleur > > Chaeguro = Hills Cafe - All three places have drinks for an average of 7,000 won. Le Fleur's latte was adequate, but the milk teas at the other cafes were too sweet for me to finish. ✅️Personal reasons for recommending each cafe Chaeguro: Recommended for those who want to take a first-row sunset view and take pretty pictures Le Fleur: Recommended for those who want to quietly enjoy the view and easily take a picture of the wide open Han River view from the rooftop Hills Cafe: Recommended for those who want to have a full day with a cafe + restaurant course 📍Seoul #Chaeguro (Photos 1-3) - 8th floor, Arisu Building, 31 Mapo-daero 4-da-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (10-minute walk from Mapo Station) 📍Seoul #Le Fleur (Photos 4-6) - 20 Wonhyo-ro 1-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (10-minute walk from Mapo Station) 📍Seoul #Hills Cafe (Photos 7-9) - 4th floor, 28-10 Tojeong-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul (10-minute walk from Hapjeong Station) Tag friends who are thinking about where to go together Look🧡 #Hot place#Cafe recommendation#Couple#Restaurant tour#Seoul travel#Cafe#Date course#Life shot spot

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

Seoul is perfect for outdoor activity. The famous and the biggest river in Korea, Han river. To enjoy Han river you can have a relaxing time in the Yeouido Park. This is also a perfect spot to watch the sunset. You can also rent a bicycle with a cheap price. #passionpassport #staycation #gooutside #seoul #hanriver

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.

Nice hang-out place with family. Floating 7-11 to get your snacks/drinks and chilled with happy vibes!!!

Seoul will always be my go to destination for everything! If I’m sad, I’ll book a flight to Seoul. If I’m happy, I’ll book a flight to Seoul. If I need reassurance, I’ll book a flight to Seoul. Basically in any condition, my go to destination would always be Seoul! Just sitting by the Han River give me a sense of comfort and happiness. I love how I can just sit and do nothing and people would not question my doing. If you ever visit Seoul, please go to the Han River at least once!

Amazing pork belly + sunset restaurant I visited a few days ago Located 10 minutes walk from Seoul Hapjeong Station, this place is a place where you can enjoy the sunset, train, and cruise ship in front and behind you.. The best barbeque restaurant ever! The atmosphere is great, and the meat is pretty good, so I recommend it😆 (It's so pretty that I fainted..) There are a lot of reviews about hygiene in Naver reviews, but my friend and I are not the type to care about hygiene, so we were very satisfied, but I would not recommend it to those who are very concerned about this.. I was very satisfied overall, so I recommend it. 열 📍Jamdubong The Nine ▫️582 Maponaru-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul 🕐Opening hours: Every day 12:00-21:50 #SeoulTravel

#CherryBlossomTravel RiversideStudyWithAGreatViewOfTheHangangRiver :) The clear view of the HangangRiver is really great because it is a glass-enclosed space with good lighting🍞 As the name of the book cafe suggests, there are books placed everywhere, so it would be nice to read a book while looking at the HangangRiver view, and it is a place with a lot of views🧇 It would be even better if you could enjoy cafe & bakery items at a reasonable price🌮 I think it would be nice to just stare blankly at the HangangRiver view from the rooftop terrace. 🍅MenuPrices Chamomile 4,500 won Peppermint 4,500 won Rooibos 4,500 won 🥖RiversideStudy 2nd floor of the building next to Sarangjae, National Assembly, 1 Uisadang-daero, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul

It's one of the best bars to drink while looking at the Han River. Do you like IPA? If you go to Deokdeokgoose, operated by Goose IPA, you can enjoy delicious food and a view of the Han River :) Unlike the cute name, the food is serious and goes really well with beer. #HongKongAirTicketEvent #HanRiver
