Decided on Banpo Hangang Park as my son wanted to live a k-drame life: to eat his ramyeon by the Han River. Took the subway to Express Bus Terminal Stn, walked for about 10 mins to reach the park. We reached slightly after 7pm. There was a CU convenience store at the park, but it was super crowded inside. You gotta queue to even enter the store. It was so chaotic inside cos everyone was trying to get the ramyeon, drinks, and snacks. After payment, another chaotic situation appeared in front of us: ramyeon cooking stations.

Especially if you're already planning on biking from one end of the river...

If you visit at sunset, you’ll experience the park at its best. The way the sky turns red and reflects on the Han River is absolutely stunning—it feels peaceful, almost like time slows down.
As night falls, you can also enjoy the Banpo Bridge Moonlight Rainbow Fountain, making it the perfect spot to enjoy both day and night views of the Han River. Whether you're taking a quiet walk alone or spending time with someone special, it's a place worth visiting. I highly recommend going...
