The Namhangang (Namhan meaning 'South Han' and gang meaning 'river') is sometimes, but not always, referred to as the "Han" in South Korea. The term "South Han" is understood irrespective of which side of the border one stands.
What is today called the Han River has been called by different names through the course of Korean history.
have you ever wonder , how is a river formed ?
Rivers are channels of freshwater that pass through the land and get their start from the overflow of a larger body of water such as a lake. It can also form from runoff of heavy rains or snow melting from mountains. Rivers can start of small and get wider when different streams merge.
It is formed by erosion. Water flows through the land. It erodes the and forming a narrow channel. Water flows in these channels. When many of these channels meet they form a river.Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water within a river is generally collected from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge ,springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks

Can't decide what to eat for dinner ?
Why not try a Korean barbecue restaurant,
Byeokjae Galbi (벽재갈비)
The meat comes from organically fed Korean cows, also known as hanwoo, which is much expensive than most of the imported beef.
No list would be complete without a good old fashioned Korean barbecue restaurant. When it comes to meat on a grill, nothing is more important than the quality of the meat, and no one is more obsessive about that than the owners of Byeokjae Galbi.
Byeokje Galbi's hanwoo comes from a farm in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, that is owned and maintained by the restaurant itself. That's the kind of obsessiveness we like to see. And taste.
