The facts

Tancheon, a tributary of Seoul's Han River, is a stream beginning in the city of Yongin in Gyeonggi-do and flowing through Seongnam and then between the districts of Songpa-gu and Gangnam-gu in Seoul before entering flowing into the Han River. It has a total length of 35.6 kilometres.

Winding through the district of Bundang, the stream is one of the widely recognised symbols of the borough. All streams in the Bundang area flow towards the Tancheon. The area also serves as a large park and there are paths for both walkers and cyclists on each bank with occasional foot bridges joining the two sides in addition to the bridges built for vehicle traffic. Along the paths there are many benches as well as exercise equipment. The whole area is extremely popular among local residents.

The stream empties into the Han River by the Olympic Stadium in Seoul.

Along the approximately 25-kilometre stretch of the Tancheon that passes through Seongnam, there are five water parks open to the public.[1] They are free of charge and popular with families with young children. The Tancheon water parks (탄천 물놀이장) are open every year from July 1 to August 31, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. At the parks there are changing rooms available as well as lots of chairs and picnic tables. They can be found at:

- Yatap-dong, in front of Manna Church (만나 교회앞)
- Jeongja-dong, in front of Singi Elementary School (신기 초등학교앞)
- Geumgok-dong, in front of Bulgok Middle School (불곡 중학교앞)
- Imae-dong, by the Unjung Stream footpath (운중천)
- Behind the Bundang district office (분당구청뒤)
