Dumulmeori
두물머리
A riverside islet where the South and North Han Rivers meet. A 400-year-old zelkova tree, morning mist and old ferry boats make it a classic photo day trip near Seoul.
Dumulmeori ('the source of two waters') lies in Dumul-ri, Yangpyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, where the North and South Han Rivers meet to form the Han River. By the river stand a roughly 400-year-old zelkova tree and a moored old wooden boat. When mist rises from the water at dawn, the scene resembles an ink wash painting, and it's a common location for Korean dramas and wedding photos. The nearby 'picture frame' photo spot and the lotus-leaf hot dog snacks are also famous. A 15-minute walk across the river takes you to Semiwon, a lotus garden where the lotuses bloom in summer. Admission is about 5,000 KRW. Dumulmeori itself is free and open all day. Take the Gyeongui-Jungang Line to Dumul Station, then walk about 20 minutes or rent a bike at the station. It's about 1 hour from central Seoul. You can combine it with Sujongsa Temple in Namyangju and the Yangpyeong Rail Bike for a day trip.
