Oksu Station is a station on the Line 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul_Subway_Line_3) and Jungang Line (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungang_Line). It is located near the confluence of the Han River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_River_(Korea)) and Jungnang River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungnangcheon).

Yongsan-Deokso Line part was recently renovated with glass covered top using natural sunlight during the day. Because of its beautiful view of the Han River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_River_(Korea)), it is often seen in movies and advertisements.

Like the taeguk, the yin-yang symbol at the center of the South Korean flag, the river Hangang creates harmony as it calmly bisects the massive city. Thankfully, 12 riverside parks line the river. These 40 square kilometers of park lands are visited by nearly 60 million people annually, and ambitious efforts are underway to improve this already impressive network of green space in central Seoul.Directions
