It is formed by the joining of the Namhan River (South Han River) and the Bukhan River (North Han River.) It flows through Seoul and then merges with the Imjin River shortly before it flows into the Yellow Sea.

Although it is not a long river, the lower Han is remarkably broad for such a relatively short river. Within Seoul city limits, the river is more than 1 km wide.

As we were about to get back on our bus a performance troupe began lining up to start a parade through the streets. I was able to grab a few frames of this child made up as a Korean princess before we were whisked off to our next destination. This image was taken in the mid-afternoon of November 8, 2008.
