Boarding at dusk, the river pulls you away from city noise and into a corridor of reflected neon where bridges and rides court the sky. The 45-minute Han River cruise threads past the Dragon Bridge’s amber scales, the Love Lock Bridge’s glowing heart, the Sun Wheel’s rotating crown, and the sculpted Carp-Dragon rising near the waterfront. The water moves like a patient guide, nudging the boat along a string of urban lights.
