Hangang Riverside Park in Seoul [Sebitseom or 'Three Lantern Islands']

Hangang Riverside Park in Seoul

The Hangang (or Han River) Riverside Park is one of the places I love about Seoul. With friends or alone, I always enjoy various events by the riverside such as fireworks, cycling, strolling, cherry blossom festival, concerts, and more.

Hangang Riverside Park in Seoul was developed from 1982 to 1986, with the government's launch of the Hangang River Development Undertaking.

The primary objective of the undertaking was to create an environmentally friendly area that the citizens of Seoul, Koreans, immigrants, and travelers can take pleasure in.

Sebitseom (or Three Lantern Islands) is composed of three island structures that hold events and with varied facilities.

Hangang Riverside Park (한강공원) is a park in Seoul, South Korea. It is made up of 12 parks, which is Gwangnaru Park, Jamsil Park, Ttukseom Park, Jamwon Park, Ichon Park, Banpo Park, Mangwon Park, Yeouido Park, Nanji Park, Gangseo Park, Yanghwa Park, and Seonyudo Park.

In 2007, the Hangang Renaissance Undertaking was introduced with the same goal and will terminate in 2030. The undertaking will change the Hangang Parks and the locations around Hangang into a place of culture, leisure, riverside, and art facilities.

The main style is production and restoration, and each of the park locations is designated a unique theme that will be utilized as a basis to develop the park and surrounding area.
