Yeouido
An island in the Han River within Yeongdeungpo District of Seoul, serving as a political and financial center where the National Assembly building and major financial institutions are clustered.
In 1968, Seoul dynamited Bamseom island to develop Yeouido. But Han River sediment accumulated on its bedrock, and the island resurrected — growing even larger. Today Bamseom is an uninhabited ecological reserve designated as a Ramsar Wetland.
