The Korean Mayor of Hanam is a visionary. Lee Jae is forwarding three major development projects in his town.
Located just minutes from Seoul, the Capital of Korea, and linked by highways, buses, and trains, Hanam has developed into a center for music, tourism, and commerce. The city’s global image as a Hub for Culture is the key to this success.
K-Star World, Camp Colbern, and Gyosan New Town have actively attracted businesses to position Hanam as a leading economic powerhouse. Situated in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, Hanam envisions a future where it becomes a global center for culture and economic growth, offering a new model for urban development.
Mayor Lee Jae explained to eTurboNews the importance of accessibility for developing tourism. To achieve this, Hanam has been developed into one of the top transportation hubs in the country.
Five railways (Subway Lines 3, 5, and 9; Wirye-Sinsa Line; GTX-D/F) and five highways (including the Seoul Ring Expressway and Jungbu Expressway), are either operational or under development.
Hanam’s well-integrated transport network seamlessly connects residents and
visitors to Seoul’s key hubs, including Gangnam—South Korea’s most prominent business district—in just 15 minutes by car, and Seoul City Hall, the nation’s political and administrative center, in 45 minutes.
Hanam City attracts around 20 million visitors annually and is renowned for its vibrant tourist destinations and abundant natural beauty. Popular Hanam attractions include Starfield Hanam and the Misa Han River sandy trails.
Starfield Hanam, South Korea’s first shopping theme park, is a favorite destination for families. It combines shopping with a wide variety of dining options and cultural experiences.
The Misa Han River Sandy Trail, a serene riverside path along the Han River, is
one of Hanam’s iconic natural attractions. Ideal for barefoot walks, it offers
stunning river views accompanied by the gentle melodies of soothing music.
