Have you heard about Cheong Gye Cheon?
I am going to introduce about the Cheonggyecheon from now on. Follow me :-)
The Cheonggyecheon used to be a naturally formed stream before the Joseon Dynasty designated Seoul as its capital.
Of course, the Cheonggyecheon flows again through the heart of Seoul, the nation`s 600-year old capital, for the new century.
Absolutely, there are complicated histories about the Cheonggyecheon.

This pic shows that the Cheonggyecheon is in the centre of Seoul.
Whenever I walked this course, I felt a sense of extraordinary. I think It`s probably the city`s forest of bulidings.
This is a day of the Cheonggyecheon. It seems like a little gloomy because of weather.
If weather permits, you may go to picnic to the Cheonggyecheon with your love.

And this is a night of the Cheonggyecheon.
Maybe I think most people like more night of the Cheonggyecheon than day of it because flashy lighting makes the Cheonggyecheon look like more intimate. Do you think so?
Besides, you can see the something interesting of the wall while you are walking.
Also, you can see the Cheonggyecheon Museum. The Cheonggyecheon Museum opened on Sep. 26, 2005 to offer visitors a vision of the history and culture of the Cheonggyecheon at a glance. Located in Majang-dong, Seongdong-gu, the Museum is in a six-level building on land of 2,296 square meters, showing the past, present and future of the stream as well as the whole restoration process.
Finally, this posting is for foreingners. Actually, there are no various and different experiences compared with others.
But, I hope you can feel KOREA in the centre of Seoul. That'll do all. Thanks.
Here is a tip for those wanting to enjoy your freedom in the Cheonggyecheon - Go out at night :)
