This river is one of the more serene paths you can take while walking through Seoul.... there will be times of year when it is bustling wall to wall with life, but those are more infrequent than not. Most nights you will find the river quiet and hosting an array of Seoul's citizens, from young to old, appreciating the free-flowing water and live entertainment as musicians may choose to demonstrate their skills from time to time alongside its banks. You can avoid the car traffic for several blocks while listening to the gentle tones of water over rock or flute in air. There's no shortage of restaurants and conveniences nearby, so if you want to grab a bottle of wine and get romantic with an impromptu convenience store fueled picnic, go for it! You can even have food delivered to you riverside should you want it, given Korea's incredible convenience and delivery economy.
This will always be one of my favorite haunts in Seoul because it's atmosphere changes so much from hour to hour, day to day. Naturally, I like it best when it's at it's quietest and I can enjoy the river for what it is and the juxtaposition of urban busy-ness with the gently cascading water.
Until next time!

XOXO,
