Cheonggyecheon at Night

Cheonggyecheon Stream situated right at the heart of the city center. Until its controversial restoration in 2005 the stream was entombed in concrete with an elevated highway running over the top and had almost dried up. After being uncovered a series of unique bridges, stepping stone crossings, and waterfalls have been created which look spectacular at night.

The Yeouido Spring Flower Festival is held every April when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The street behind the National Assembly Building, called Yunjung-ro, is lined with 1,400 cherry trees and is the most famous cherry blossom street in Seoul. Visitors can stroll next to the Han River through a tunnel of these magnificent trees. There are also Street Cultural Arts Performances, a flower decoration exhibition, and a photo exhibition.
