Original source: Hankyoreh

Temporary riverside camping opened in Seoul on Saturday, offering residents a cool nighttime escape during a scorching heat wave. The city's 'Han River Night+Camping' initiative runs throughout August at Yeouido and Ttukseom, with sites open from 5 pm to 9 am. Visitors can rent four-person tents or bring their own; 200 lots are available, 100 at each location. The program is part of Seoul's plan to boost the nighttime economy by making the Han a 24-hour attraction. The Han River Festival, through Aug. 16, includes drone shows, movie screenings, and silent yoga.
