Summer by the Han

Summer evenings belong to the Han River. As the heat eases after dark, the riverside parks fill with picnic mats, late-night strolls and 'chimaek' — fried chicken and cold beer delivered straight to the grass. At Banpo Bridge, the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain arcs colour over the water, and a bowl of icy cold noodles is the classic way to beat the swelter.
