The 'Han River' in South Korea is the confluence of the South Han River, which originates in Mount Daedeok, and the North Han, which originates on the slopes of Mount Geumgang in North Korea.
The Han River flows through Seoul to empty into the Imjin River shortly before that in turn empties into the Yellow Sea.
The total length of the Han River is 514 km. Although it is not a long river, the lower Han is remarkably broad for such a relatively short river. Within Seoul city limits, the river is more than 1 km wide.
