About this place

Yanghwa Bridge is a vital and deeply symbolic crossing over the majestic Han River, linking the vibrant districts of Mapo and Yeongdeungpo. Opened in 1965 as the Second Han River Bridge, it played a crucial role in Seoul's rapid modernization and economic boom, connecting the northern urban centers with the burgeoning industrial zones of the south. In recent popular culture, the bridge serves as a powerful atmospheric backdrop, famously featured in poignant, emotional driving and riverside scenes in the globally acclaimed drama 'Queen of Tears,' as well as immortalized in iconic Korean indie music. Travel tips: rent a Seoul public bike (Ttareungyi) or walk along the dedicated pedestrian paths during sunset to experience breathtaking, golden-hour views of the city skyline and the tranquil river below. Looking at 2026 travel trends, Yanghwa Bridge aligns perfectly with the growing preference for scenic, slow-travel experiences and 'healing' urban nature walks. It offers visitors a moment of profound serenity amidst the bustling metropolis, seamlessly blending cinematic nostalgia with the timeless, sweeping beauty of the Han River.
