Encyclopedic overview
The Han River (Korean: 한강) is a major river in South Korea. It flows through the central region of the Korean peninsula, with some of its tributaries and drainage basin in North Korea. The Han River currently has eight river islands: Nanjido, Yeouido, Ttukseom [ko], Nodeulseom, Seoraeseom [ko], Sebitseom, Bamseom, and Seonyudo.
The Han is the fourth longest river on the Korean peninsula after the Amnok, Tuman, and Nakdong rivers. The river begins as two smaller rivers in the eastern mountains of the Korean peninsula, which then converge near Seoul.
