Cheonggyecheon stream




Cheonggye-Cheon is a small stream flow across the center of Seoul.
In the old times, it maked a lot of problems, such as a flood and water pollution. In the 1950s, Cheonggye-Cheon was covered with a concrete high-level road, so it had been buried in oblivion.

Lots of Seoulites have been visiting and enjoying. Moreover, it was informed to overseas, and many foreign tourists are visiting. Cheonggyecheon stream will be a place of interest of Seoul.
