Cheonggyecheon - Review

Contribute/Review Ask a Question

The Cheonggye Stream in downtown Seoul is one of the most beautiful places one can visit while in Seoul. This ancient stream of water flows through the heart of the city and attracts hundreds of thousands of locals and tourists throughout the year.

During the economic development stages following the Korean War, this 5.8 km long creek had to be covered up for the most part in order to make way for public transportation means. But, a recent multi-billion dollar project has renewed the flow of this creek and has effectively transformed it into a peaceful and picturesque location right in the heart of the city. It is also a site for numerous cultural events.
