The first informative news is about a great attraction, free camping along the Hangang River.

Literally, free camping will become available right by the Hangang River.

It is hot these days. If you are looking for things to do to beat the heat, head over to the Hangang River.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government is fully launching its first "nighttime economy vitalization" project.

The plan is to create a "24-hour Hangang River" by connecting mobility, leisure, water play, food, performances, movies, and camping.

A prime example is "Hangang Bamping," temporary campsites set up with 100 tents each in the Yeouido and Ttukseom Hangang Parks, totaling 200 tents.

They will operate by advance reservation from August 1 to August 30, daily from 5:00 PM to 9:00 AM the next morning.

While the site usage fee is free, renting a tent incurs a charge, and consecutive-night stays and cooking are restricted.

In addition, nighttime DJ performances will be held at the Yeouido Hangang Park swimming pool every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening, so how about spending your evening at the Hangang River today?
