Bukhan River


The Bukhan is a tributary of the Han [River (Korea)|Han River] that flows through both North and South Korea. It traverses Kangwon Province, [North Korea] and the Gangwon Province, [South Korea|Gangwon] and Gyeonggi Provinces in South Korea.
The Bukhan's headwaters lie in North Korea near Geumgangsan; this early portion of the river is often called the Geumgangcheon, or "Geumgang Stream." It crosses the Korean [Demilitarized Zone] and enters Hwacheon County, flowing south through Chuncheon and then west through Gapyeong. It joins with the Namhan River in, Yangpyeong, to form the Han River.
