Nearby
Yanghwa Hangang Park
A 5.9 km stretch of the south bank from the mouth of the Yeouido Saetgang up to Gayang Bridge. Roses come out from May along the cycle path under Seonyu Bridge, and exit 4 of Dangsan station reaches the park directly over a 200 m footbridge with a lift on it. The operator singles out the view from its broad riverside lawn as one that is hard to find elsewhere.
Mangwon Hangang Park
A 7.4 km stretch of the north bank between Wonhyo Bridge and Seongsan Bridge. Its flood plain is open lawn with long sightlines, and downstream of Seongsan Bridge sits Seoul Battleship Park, built around three decommissioned naval vessels. Mangwon is not on the operator's list of the river's twelve bicycle-hire points, so a bike has to be brought here or hired in another district.
Mangwon Market
It opens at 10:00, later than Seoul's other well-known markets, which makes it a practical first stop after a slow start.
MUSINSA GARAGE
A small live room on Jandari-ro in Hongdae, shared between indie bands and rookie-idol showcases. It is the size of room you drop into in the evening after a day spent walking Hongdae.
