한강 (The Han River) has become one of the iconic symbols of Seoul, and as the 4th longest river in Korea, it runs through a good portion of the country. The river is quite broad, and in Seoul, you can visit 12 recreational parks along its shorelines, participate in exciting 수상 스포츠 (water sports), take a bike ride along the 74km-long 자전거 도로 (bike lane), kick back and relax on the the 한강 유람선 (Han River Cruise Ship), enjoy a 콘서트 (concert) by the water, or just hang out with friends and loved ones along the shore.
여름 날씨 (Summer weather) in Korea can be very hot and humid during the day, but at night, it cools off just enough to enjoy the night air. One of our favorite things to do in the summertime is to visit 한강 at sunset and hang out with 친구들 (friends). Not only can you take some AMAZING 사진 (pictures) of the river at this time, but you’re also not sweating your cojones off trying to experience an important portion of Korean 역사 (history).
Here are a couple more pictures of 한강 at dusk:
Thanks for checking out our first TTMIK blog post! We hope to be able to offer some insight on Korea while integrating a few vocabulary words for you to learn! Come on now, did you really think you were going to read a post from Talk To Me In Korean and NOT learn some new vocab? 
There are more posts to come, but in the mean time, please grace us with some feedback!
Happy studying!
I’ve been in Seoul twice this year, and the Han river shore is definitely one of the nicest place to be there. It’s both relaxing and energizing, as there are quite a few people but they obviously come to have a relaxing time.
Thanks for this post, and for everything actually !

아름다운 강입니다. 사진이을 주셔서 감사합니다.
I look forward to reading more of these places in Korea blogs. It’s a good way to practice new vocabulary as I read along and get more insight on Korea. I really want to take a cruise on the Han River !
I recognized the picture of the bridge from the K-Drama: Boys Over Flowers. Now I know the name of the River!
I can’t wait to go to Korea and see it for myself.
Yes man. Ran Kang is really nice. I would like to be in Korea to see this. So, life is long. Some time I will be there. Wait and see. If not in this life let’s do it in the next.
