An artificial island in the Han River between two bridges in Seoul.
Seorae Island is an artificial island in the Han River, sitting between Banpo Bridge and Dongjak Bridge in Seoul. It was created between 1982 and 1986 as part of the Olympic Expressway construction and the broader Han River development project. Three footbridges, all named Seorae Bridge, connect it to Banpo Hangang Park, providing convenient access from the park.
Seasonal crops such as canola and buckwheat are planted on the island, and the fields draw photographers and walkers when the flowers are in bloom. A canola flower festival is held each spring and a buckwheat flower festival each autumn.
