Cheonggyecheon

Tourist attraction

Located in Seoul, South Korea, the pedestrianized Cheonggyecheon Stream runs about 16 feet (5 meters) below street level. This 3.6-mile (5.8-kilometer) scenic pathway winding through Seoul is a must-visit for strolls and people-watching. With 22 charming bridges and various art installations and illuminated fountains, this stream is a top spot for a relaxed walk in South Korea's busy capital. Access to the real Cheonggyecheon Stream is easy from the square, with steps on the left and the Cheonggye Trail on the right. For a unique experience, check out the 18-meter tunnel on the Cheonggye Trail, leading you to the stream. Once a neglected waterway, Cheonggyecheon underwent a remarkable transformation through the Cheonggyecheon restoration project that restored its natural environment and historical significance. Today it is a testament to the commitment of Seoul Metropolitan Government to preserving its heritage and creating a vibrant public space, from dismantling an elevated highway, for residents and tourists alike.

It's very close to the exit of Gyeongbokgung subway station, and you can get to Gyeongbokgung Palace just across the street. It's super convenient👍 Fortunately, there aren't many people when I visit on weekdays. The store staff will help you put on Hanbok and braid your hair (the braiding sister is very attentive and her hair is beautifully styled) ) Recommended for friends who want to experience Hanbok~
