the lane beside a river

From the pollution, now it is good enough along side of the rio besos. It’s not that interesting space but with various types of plants, the district provides a resting place for the residents. In my opinion, the lane beside a river is always a good location as a green area. Because of the long distance, it is good for riding a bicycle and jogging. Actually there were lots of citizens who are exercising. And the most interesting is the end of the lane, people can see the sea.

Hangang Park is a representative people’s park located by Hangang River. It was created through the “Hangang River Comprehensive Development Project” in the 1980s, covering a huge area that is dedicated to the citizens, providing areas for sports and relaxation. There are many people strolling or jogging along the trail paths, in-line skaters, bicyclers, and soccer fields or basketball courts.

The Citizen’s Park is composed of Gwangnaru, Jamsil, Ttukseom, Jamwon, Banpo, Ichon, Yeouido, Yanghwa, Mangwon, Seonyudo, Nanji, and Gangseojigu – a total of 12 districts. Each park has its unique characteristics that fit the district, and especially Yeouido, Jamsil, and Ttukseom districts are very popular because of the ferry cruise services on Hangang River. The most popular are the ones in Yeouido and Ttukseom. Because the Yeouido area is where all the major TV Studios are located, countless dramas use this park for their shoots. Here people can also observe the birds of Bam Isle, a designated ecological preservation area. On the other hand, Ttukseom district is called the windsurfing and water-skiing mecca, and people can experience all sorts of leisure sports here.
