Korea - Hangang River Ferry Cruising

Hangang River Ferry Cruise is one experience that we really enjoyed. It was great
viewing the scenery around the Han River while the cool wind embraces our
bodies.  Lucky us that the weather is sunny despite 6-10 degrees C last
April 20, 2011.

The Han River is a major river in South Korea and the fourth longest river on the
Korean peninsula.  There is a total of 27 bridges cross the Han River in Seoul
National Capital Area (Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon), South Korea.

It is located in Seoul-si Yeongdeungpo-gu Yeouido-dong 85-1.

We boarded in Jamsil and ended in Yeouido station. There are also
cafeterias/coffee shops in the station and even in the ferry in case you want
to satisfy your cravings.

The cruise is often used for weddings, birthday parties, and other events.

We saw motor boats and water taxi cruising the river too.

We paid 9,000 won each for our travel from Jamsil to Yeouido for an hour of
cruising.  It offers 50% discount of adults fee for Age 13 and under.

And you can have a good view of the S-Trenue Tower, a skyscaper building upon 
approaching the Yeouido ferry station.
