Timeline

  1. 16:49

    Han Market

    Grab a coffee or a snack at Han Market. The upper floors sell silk and souvenirs, but the ground floor is full of local energy. Check that it is still open; the market closes at 21:00, so you have plenty of time, but the vibe is liveliest in the late afternoon.

    Han River Promenade

    Walk down to the Han River Promenade. Stroll westward along the western bank. The path is well-built and offers unobstructed views of the river as the light begins to soften.

  3. 17:34

    Han River Promenade

    Stand near the water and watch the sun set toward the WSW. The Han River reflects the fading light, and the Dragon Bridge in the distance marks the southern end of your stretch.

  4. 17:59

    Golden Pine

    End your evening at Golden Pine. This popular pub sits opposite Memory Lounge on the river side. It has a casual vibe with regulars and plays music on request. It is open until 04:00 or last customer, so you can linger as long as you like.

Local tip

The promenade stretches from the Dragon Bridge to the city port. Stick to the western bank for the best sunset views, as the sun sets toward the WSW.
