The Bukhan is a tributary of the Han River that flows through both North and South Korea. It traverses Kangwon Province, North Korea and the 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.
