Choose your seat on the yacht
Choosing the location is also a Han River cruise experience that you should grasp. When taking a Han River cruise, visitors have the full right to choose their favorite seats under the guidance of the staff. Each yacht will usually have 2 decks, each deck has 2 rows of seats. According to the majority, often choose the 2nd floor because it has a broader view. However, if you do not have time to choose this area, do not be too sad because the first-floor area also has many benefits:
The 1st floor has a larger area than the 2nd floor, so it is more spacious. Due to the psychology of many people choosing the 2nd floor, the space on the 1st floor will usually be quieter, suitable for those who want to find relaxation and peace. The area at the top of the first floor is designed to be quite empty, so you can move up there to look around or check-in.
Sitting on the 1st floor means you can sit close to the river. In this location, visitors will feel the calm and gentleness of the Han River at night beside the lights, the sky, and the bridges reflected on the water. In addition, there is another quite special thing that on high water days, if you are lucky, you will see schools of fish swimming along with the boat, even jumping on the water.
