두물머리

The name means 'where two waters meet' — the North Han and South Han rivers converge here into the Han River that flows through Seoul. Korean landscape photographers treat this as a pilgrimage site, arriving before dawn to catch the mist rising off the water around the solitary old zelkova tree on the bank. The image is iconic in Korean photography circles but almost entirely unknown to foreign visitors. There is no entrance fee, no ticket booth, no tour bus parking lot. A handful of locals fish from the bank. A small lotus pond adjacent to the confluence blooms in summer. If you come at 6am on a weekday in autumn, you will likely be alone with the mist and the river.
