DESCRIPTION
Cheonggyecheon Stream is a popular urban oasis running through the heart of Seoul. Once covered by an elevated highway, the stream was restored and transformed into a peaceful public space surrounded by modern buildings and historic landmarks. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing walk along its waterside paths, cross charming stone bridges, and discover small waterfalls and decorative features along the route.
