A public recommendation campaign was held for Seoul citizens, resulting in the unveiling of the 'Charming Ddareungi Course' featuring 20 selected routes. These routes range from those offering beautiful night views of the Han River to those that allow you to experience nature in the midst of the city. If you're on a tight schedule, a quick 30-minute ride along the riverbank can be a great option. However, if you have more time, exploring Seoul's hidden natural landscapes for 2 to 3 hours is highly recommended.
