Introduction
Yeouido is an island on the Han River in Seoul's Yeongdeungpo district and a major financial and business center of Korea. It concentrates the stock exchange, bank headquarters and office towers, while also keeping large green spaces such as Yeouido Park and the Han River park along the water. In spring the cherry trees along Yunjoong-ro draw crowds, and the island offers river cruise docks, cultural venues and shopping. Riverside paths are good for walking and cycling, with Han River and skyline views at night, and the metro runs directly onto the island.
