The newest attraction
in Seoul has a history that is centuries old. Cheonggyecheon
stream traversed the center of downtown but was buried under a freeway for 58 years. In October 2005, Cheonggyecheon
re-opened with sparkling, free-flowing water, a new
cultural museum and performance parks. You can feel the beauty of nature while you are strolling this surprising oasis and you will want to visit again.
