Here, though, the water table remains depleted. The river then flows through Anyang, where it is met by its major tributary, the Hakuicheon stream. From here, it loops around to the west before continuing north to the border with Gwangmyeong. As the river passes to the west of the mountain Gwanaksan, it forms the border between Gwangmyeong and Seoul, where it is lined on the Gwangmyeong side with rape fields and cherry blossom trees. After the stream is joined near Guil Station from the west by the Mokgamcheon stream, which forms another border between Gwangmyeong and Seoul, it is then totally within the capital. Here, it is also joined from the east by the Dorimcheon and passes through a conservation zone for migratory birds which was established after a 2005 cleanup operation, whereafter it joins the Han. Most of the length of the river has a path alongside providing easy access, the only parts without this lying in Uiwang. Seoul City Council has embarked on a programme of exclusive cycle path creation alongside its waterways, including the Anyangcheon, to be completed in 2010.
==History== Anyangcheon has had many names throughout history. The part of the Anyangcheon that passes the modern day Geumcheon district was called Hannae in the book Donggukyeojiseungram, which was transcribed as 大川, meaning 'big river' in chinese. The river was also called Gitan, and the modern day name Anyang is said to be named after the temple Anyangsa which was near the source of the river. Other names include Hogye, and Geomamcheon.
