Bike Rental - Hang Gang River

Our year contract teaching in Korea is quickly coming to an end (September 30th) so we thought we'd finally get out again to see and do some things we have been putting off. One of those things was renting bicycles in Yeouido / Yeouinaru along the Han Gang River. Yeouido / Yeouinaru is one of our favorite places to hang out. You can do things such as walk around the river, fly a kite, roller blade, rent bicycles, go on a river cruise (on our to-do list) and even have a picnic with your favorite bottle(s) of wine, beer or soju. Click here for our previous post on the Han River Park and here for the International Fireworks Festival there as well.

Directions: Get off at Yeouinaru Station - Line 5, exit 2. Go down the steps and take a left. There is at least one other rental shop along the river as well.



The cost is 3,000W per seat, per hour. If you're looking for a tandum bike it will cost 6,000W per hour.





I was trying to get a shot of the bikes available to rent and one younger Korean male decided to pose for the shot, next thing you know they all wanted in on it.. say kimchi!

We really enjoy the area along the Han River. If you are in the Seoul area, it is definitely worth checking out day or night.
