See how a successful eco-friendly urban renewal project created a popular tourist spot at Cheonggyecheon Stream. Before the nation's rapid economic development after the war, the district stood as a neglected waterway secluded by an overpass. However, after the renovation and beautification project, it evolved into a modern public recreation space and a haven for natural habitats. Inspect the passing stream from one of two historic bridges--Gwangtonggyo and Supyogyo--and see how it teems with animal and plant life amid a highly urbanized city. You'll find many shops and small businesses here; feel free to pay them a visit and purchase their goods, souvenirs, or services. Put Cheonggyecheon Stream on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Seoul travel itinerary planner.

Quiet and easy to navigate during our morning run along the stream. It’s a morning stroll location for locals as well. Good route for city runs for first time visitors.

Cheonggyeacheon is the first of the stream beds to be restored and is a pleasant walk through downtown Seoul. Birds have returned as well as some small fish. it is about five miles long wandering...

A river with a cute sidewalk. Nice to stroll along while listening to the sounds of water on good weather.
