As summer fades, Seoul is offering residents a cooler evening activity along the Han River. Starting this Friday, August 28th, the Han River Night Tour will provide free guided walks from 7 p.m. every Friday and Saturday until October 3rd. Professional guides will lead visitors along two trails: the Banpo Moonlight Trail and the Yeouido Starlight Trail.
The Banpo route takes participants past Seorae Island, Sebit Island, and the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain on Banpo Bridge, featuring water jets that create a magical nighttime atmosphere. Meanwhile, the Yeouido route leads visitors to Hangang Art Park, the Han River Bus dock, Mulbit Stage, and Mulbit Square, where underwater lighting creates a dazzling star-like effect over the waterfront.
In addition to the guided walks, the tour will offer hands-on activities, such as creating mood lighting on the Banpo route and an evening stroll with glowing LED balloons in Yeouido. Both adults and families with children are welcome to join these evening strolls under the stars.
