Cheonggyecheon Stream Review, Seoul

This Cheonggyecheon Stream review contains costs, directions for getting to Cheonggyecheon Stream, pictures, and other useful information.

I originally went to Cheonggye Plaza from Ihwa Mural Village not really knowing what it was. Actually, Cheonggye Plaza itself was kind of like a farmers market and with some local snack foods and vegetables. Not really something I am interested in, but it was also the start (or end) of Cheonggyecheon Stream, which is just the kind of thing I am interested in.

Cheonggyecheon Stream Review

I decided to just walk along the stream all the way back to my accommodation. It was a pretty nice walk and lots of places to stop and sit under bridges.

There’s also lots of things to see along the way.

This is the start/end, at Cheonggye Plaza.

Looking down stream from Cheonggye Plaza.

A kind of arty display of flowers on the wall. There was more on the other side of the stream also.

Carvings in the stone under one of the small bridges.

This photo display goes along three walls. All the signs were in Korean so I couldn’t know for certain, but this first display seems to be from the war.

Artwork on the wall.

This is the only thing I actually got the name of. It was called the wall of water.

More artwork. This time underneath one of the larger bridges.

The last bit of artwork I saw before going back to the streets. All along the river there are people just chilling, mostly under the shade of the bridges.

Getting to Cheonggyecheon Stream

Cheonggyecheon Stream is pretty long. You can walk to any point of it.

The closest metro station to Cheonggye Plaza is City Hall.
