Why locals recommend it

Cheonggye Stream is a 40 km-long outdoor public space that leads to the Hangang River in downtown Seoul. For a special trip through the city, run from City Hall to 63 Building in Yeouido—it’s a trip that can’t be done by bus or subway. The start of the course is crowded, but it becomes more spacious the further you go. There are water fountains along the entire length of the run, which is flat, smooth and good for beginners.

Cheonggyecheon (Stream) runs through the downtown and is called as the oasis of Seoul. It is the resting place for tourists and citizens. Cheonggye Plaza is the entrance to Cheonggyecheon (Stream) and there is a candle fountain and two-tier waterfall that descends into a pond 4 m below. It presents a picturesque view at night with light and water. The miniature of 22 bridges and the whole sections of Cheonggyecheon in the scale of 100:1 is also worth seeing.
