After a full day of exploring the festivities of the Seoul Friendship Fair, I figured it would be nice to just relax at Cheonggyecheon Stream. Cheonggyecheon Stream is a man made and natural stream that stretches for about 5.2 miles. The main area I relaxed at was Cheonggye Square, which is the start of the stream where 120,000 tons of water flows from Cheonggye Square to the Han River.
Cheonggyecheon is a very popular area for young and old alike. You can see hundreds of couples just sitting or walking along the water path, kids playing along the stream, and thousands of people exercising. Since Buddha's birthday is soon, the stream has been decorated with colorful ornaments, and large displays are still up from the Seoul Friendship Fair!
I really want to return at night! I heard it's just as beautiful, if not more!
