Right next to the Dongdaemun
Market is Cheonggyecheon
Stream. Unexpected natural beauty in the heart of the city, the pathway that
runs along the stream gives citizens a great place to take a walk or just
relax. The stream is adorned with colorful stops such as the Fashion Plaza, the
Wall of Culture (murals), light shows, and fountains. There is even a stage
that hosts a number of events throughout the seasons. In recent years, Cheonggyecheon
Stream has become one of the most beloved places in Seoul.
