Seoul now has a new and fun way to travel: the Hangang Bus.
It is a ferry that runs along the Han River, right through the middle of the city.
You can use it to travel, sightsee, or just enjoy the river view.
It is eco-friendly, comfortable, and easy to ride.
This guide shows you the stops, how to ride, and the price.
