Seoul's Han River

Murky Waters, River Gangsters, Merchant Dreams, and a Sunset Ride on Seoul's Han River This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we explore the river that made Seoul possible—the Han River. From Joseon-era ferries, merchants, and river gangsters to Disney+'s historical drama 탁류 (The Murky Stream), we examine a side of Korean history rarely portrayed on screen. Then we return to present-day Seoul to ride the new Han River Bus and discover how this ancient trade route is once again becoming part of daily life.
