"Located below street level, the public space Cheonggyecheon offers an easy escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Seoul . The area is part of a massive urban renewal project in which an old elevated highway was cleared to reveal the stream below. To find the entrance, look for Claes Oldenburg’s sculpture Spring Tower , which resembles a giant unicorn horn, and from there you can enjoy a serene 3.6-mile walk that meanders past art installations, graceful fountains, and green rest areas. Duck out at any point on one of the 22 overhead bridges that cross the stream, or walk to the end of the trail and visit the free Cheonggyecheon Museum to learn more about the area."

A stunning river! The river is serene and wildlife is everywhere. I was fortunate enough to see an egret hunting!

A must visit location in Seoul especially on a good weather day. Basically a nice walking park in the middle of the city next to a stream which makes you feel transplanted from busy city life. On weekends there are plenty of street performances as well.

During the day is a chill place but turns so romantic and relax at night! You can find some people singing, also able to bring the food and drinks to sit and enjoy the vibes along the side.

Love this long river, the environment will made you feel you're hiking, listening the rhythm of rive, the sound of birds and enjoy the breeze air. It's amazing, as the river located at the middle of Seoul central, a most commercial area.

Very cool place to take a stroll! This used to be a dirty stream, full of garbage, that they cleaned up and transformed into a beautiful promenade river, right in the heart of Seoul! It is closed during very rainy days, as the water level raises, so make sure to go there ob good weather, no matter the season!
