Cheonggyecheon

Last weekend we went wandering around the Dongdaemun area. At one point, to cross the street, we decided to go down to Cheonggyecheon instead of crossing on the street. We had to walk down and cross on some rocks in the middle of the stream.

Cheonggyecheon is one of the urban renewal projects in downtown Seoul, and is a stream that runs through town. It has been cleaned up, with art and historical plaques scattered along the route, with benches and seating areas. There are fountains and rocks, and plants also.




This is a frog statue in one of the fountains along the side of the wall.
