In the midst of Seoul’s bustling city life, Cheonggyecheon offers a refreshing escape—an urban oasis where tradition and modernity flow together.
This 11-kilometer-long stream runs through downtown Seoul, providing both locals and tourists with a peaceful place to walk, relax, and reconnect with nature.

Once hidden beneath a concrete overpass, Cheonggyecheon was restored in 2005 as part of a large-scale urban renewal project.
Today, it stands as a symbol of Seoul’s commitment to sustainability, cultural preservation, and public well-being.

As you stroll along the stream, you’ll encounter beautiful stone bridges, modern art installations, and historic murals that tell the story of the city’s past. In the evening, the walkway is softly illuminated, creating a romantic and tranquil atmosphere.

Cheonggyecheon is more than just a walking path—it’s a gathering place for festivals, performances, and seasonal light shows.
Whether you visit in the spring, when cherry blossoms line the banks, or in the winter, during the vibrant lantern festival, the stream offers something magical in every season.

Conveniently located near major landmarks such as Gwanghwamun, Dongdaemun, and City Hall, Cheonggyecheon is easily accessible and frequently included in walking tours of central Seoul.
It’s also a perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing or shopping, with nearby cafés and street food vendors to enjoy.
