Yeoui-dong
Yeoui-dong occupies a riverside section of Yeouido, an island in western Seoul on the Han River. The neighbourhood is part of the capital’s major business and financial district, while Yeouido Park and long riverside spaces create room around its high-rise blocks. The National Assembly of the Republic of Korea meets in its imposing Yeouido building, completed in 1975, giving the area a central role in national politics. Mapo Bridge links the island to Mapo-gu on the north bank, one of many crossings binding Seoul’s two river shores. Nearby, the 63 Building remains a familiar landmark in the skyline. Once an airfield, Yeouido was reshaped during the late 20th century into a centre for offices, broadcasting and public institutions.

Few districts in Seoul have a history as closely tied to the Han River and Yeouido’s transformation from an airfield into a national centre as Yeoui-dong. Set on Yeouido island along the river’s south bank, it is bordered by the paths and open lawns of Yeouido Hangang Park. The National Assembly Building makes the district a focal point of South Korean politics, while nearby office towers reflect Yeouido’s role in Seoul’s financial industry. Each spring, cherry trees along Yeouiseo-ro draw crowds for the Yeouido Spring Flower Festival. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Seoul and the Han River.

Seoul combines high-density urban energy with mountain-framed open space in a way that reflects its position within the Han River basin. Around Namsan, near the city’s geographic centre, wooded slopes rise above districts threaded by major roads and rail lines; the N Seoul Tower is one of the capital’s most recognisable markers. North of the mountain, Gyeongbokgung Palace recalls Seoul’s role as the Joseon dynasty’s capital, while markets, university quarters and business districts underline the pace of a metropolis constantly in motion. The broad Han River creates a rare horizontal pause in this vertical city, with parks, paths and public spaces along its banks.

South Korea stretches from the mountainous border with North Korea to Jeju Island, encompassing forested ranges, fertile river basins and a deeply indented southern coast. The Taebaek Mountains run along much of the east, while the Han River crosses Seoul before reaching the Yellow Sea. Busan faces the Korea Strait, and tidal flats and islands shape the country’s western shore. Seoul combines dense contemporary districts with royal Joseon sites, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, first built in 1395. Kimchi and bibimbap are central to everyday cuisine, while the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was created in the 15th century.
