Han River (Korea)
This article is about the Han River in South Korea. For the Han River, which flows into the Yangtze River at Wuhan, see Han Jiang.
The Hangang (= Han River) is with 497.5 km the fourth longest river on the Korean Peninsula and the second longest in South Korea.
The northern branch (Bukhangang), which is 325.5 km long, rises in North Korea near the Kŭmgangsan, and the southern (Namhangang) (394.25 km long) in the Geumdaesan Mountains in Gangwon Province, South Korea. After joining at Yangsuri (35 km from Seoul), the Hangang flows in a W-shape through the South Korean capital, then northwest, where it forms the border with North Korea, and empties into the Yellow Sea off Ganghwado Island.
An ancient inscription from the time of King Gwanggaeto (reigned 391-413) names the river Arisu (아리수; 阿利水).
