You leave Seoul’s concrete glare and, in under two hours, the city’s noise thins into a ribbon of road that points toward the Bukhan River. The van eases to a stop at the ferry terminal; a short boat ride delivers you to Nami Island’s tree-lined promenade, where lanes of poplars and metasequoias set the pace and the river seems to push you forward.
