I saw the Banpo night view again after a long time
After work, I didn’t feel like just heading home, so I walked toward the Han River—and the night view around Banpo Bridge looked especially beautiful today. Just managing to get a few photos made me feel like I’d been on a little trip.
Even on a weekday evening, quite a lot of people were sitting on picnic mats. Everyone’s impressive... I just bought coffee at a convenience store, sat for 20 minutes, and came back. Still, I feel somehow recharged 😌
Next time, I should bring a picnic mat and tear into some fried chicken before heading back.

The Banpo night view never gets old no matter how many times I see it. I'm jealous you actually make time to go for a walk on a weekday evening lol. I go straight to bed as soon as I get off work.
The picnic mat + chicken combo is great, but it’s surprisingly tough to find a spot on weekends. I’d say aiming for a weekday evening was a stroke of genius. By any chance, could you share a few photos?
Well... the Banpo night view is pretty, sure, but “recharged” feels like an exaggeration. Sitting there for 20 minutes—what exactly is supposed to recharge you that much? Wouldn’t it have been better to just go home and rest during that time? These days, I can’t help but wonder if everyone’s forcing these little “small but certain happiness” moments just for social media.
