Cheonggyecheon Stream, Seoul

4.1
#1 of 237 in Nature in South Korea
Historic Walking Area Water Body
See how a successful eco-friendly urban renewal project created a popular tourist spot at Cheonggyecheon Stream. Before the nation's rapid economic development after the war, the district stood as a neglected waterway secluded by an overpass. However, after the renovation and beautification project, it evolved into a modern public recreation space and a haven for natural habitats. Inspect the passing stream from one of two historic bridges--Gwangtonggyo and Supyogyo--and see how it teems with animal and plant life amid a highly urbanized city. You'll find many shops and small businesses here; feel free to pay them a visit and purchase their goods, souvenirs, or services. Put Cheonggyecheon Stream on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Seoul travel itinerary planner .

    To Qingxi Chuan when the truth is not very beautiful, not like the travel books blink bright, the river pretty dark, beside the side there are a lot of feelings couples so do not turn the lights? But the whole walk is very comfortable, the river will not stink, there is a laser light hit on the sprinkler screen pretty special! There is a wish pool, inside the money is donated photocopy to the Korean ghetto Sleepy children studying book used, feel quite good! It's very intentional!

    Saw this on TV how they demolished the elevated highway to revive the stream. It was a nice experience to see it up close. The colors after winter may not be that good but the crowd was fewer.  more »

    In the previous November to match the work, the whole is beautiful, but the March tree leaves yellow is also showing another kind of withered yellow 滄 mulberry feeling, was a good person card, come here to stay ~ The water is very clear!
