Introduction

Han River Citizens' Park, located in the heart of Seoul spanning the Han River, is a popular recreational spot for citizens. Built in the 1980s as part of the Han River Comprehensive Development Project, the park covers a total area of 2.1 million square kilometers and offers various sports and leisure facilities. Many people visit the park daily for walking or jogging, as well as activities such as ice skating and cycling. Additionally, there are soccer fields and basketball courts for sports enthusiasts. Han River Citizens' Park consists of 12 different areas, including areas like Jamshil, Ttukseom, Jamsil, Banpo, Icheon, Yeouido, Yanghwa, Wangsimni, Seonyudo, Nanji, and Gangseo, each with their own unique features. Ttukseom and Yeouido regions offer boat tours, attracting a constant flow of visitors. Among them, Yeouido and Ttukseom are the most popular places. Yeouido is home to many television stations and is often used as a filming location. In addition, many bird species from the Gyesan Island Ecological Park can be observed on the island. The Ttukseom area, on the other hand, is a beloved spot for shopping and water sports, earning the nickname "Leisure Sports Paradise." At night, the neon lights from both sides of the Han River and the city lights add a romantic touch to the park. Amidst the darkness, the flowing river and the city's beauty complement each other, offering a breathtaking view. Enjoying the cool evening breeze, one can admire the beauty of the Han River on both banks.
