Chung Gae Chun, beautiful river in the night

Cheonggyecheon is an 8.4 km long, modern public recreation space in downtown Seoul. The massive urban renewal project is on the site of a stream that flowed before the rapid post-war economic development required it to be covered by transportation infrastructure. The $900 million project initially attracted much public criticism but, after opening in 2005, has become popular among city residents and tourists.

Chung Gae Chun is just a river, but it has become a popular place to visit in the past few years. It’s quite interesting because it’s in the middle of a very crowded city. One thing you might want to know, it is much more beautiful at night, especially on holidays, because they turn on the decoration lights!
