Seoul 5D4N: Cheonggyecheon Stream and a palace













Jalan lagi..

Cheonggyecheon (Cheonggye Stream), an 11 km long modern stream that runs through downtown Seoul. Created as part of an urban renewal project, Cheonggyecheon is a restoration of the stream that was once there before during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The stream was covered with an elevated highway after the Korean War (1950-1953), as part of the country's post-war economic development. Then in 2003, the elevated highway was removed to restore the stream to its present form today. The stream starts from Cheonggye Plaza, a popular cultural arts venue, and passes under a total of 22 bridges before flowing into the Hangang (River), with many attractions along its length. The tour then proceeds to Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park, the future of design and leisure in Seoul. (visitseoul.net)
