Traveler reviews
Robert Duff-Silsby
β β β β β a month agoEasily one of the best attractions in Seoul. There's an amazing tea house and coffee shop on the bridge over, a great interpretive centre (in Korean), great views of the mountains and rivers, and plenty of great spots to sit in the shade and relax (i got some work done on an elevated platform in the shade). There's a convenience store a short walk across the river, so I would highly recommend it as a full day activity if you need some time to recharge or if you just want to walk through as part of a bigger day. Oh, and so many photo opportunities for the "influencers", especially in June.

β β β β β a year agoWorth a visit! Cute and green Island. The way nature and the old structures are in harmony on this island was very beautiful. Great photo location and amazing views. Also there were many cute cats on the island! If needed you will also find toilets there. Imo kind of a secret tip since it isnβt really listed on many website a la βBest things to do in Seoulβ so if you at the Han River and close by it is worth a visit!
