A raised highway was demolished and the ground dug up to 'daylight' this long-buried
stream. It transformed Seoul's centre, creating a riverside park and walking course that's a
calm respite from the surrounding commercial hubbub. Public art is dotted along the banks
and many events are held here, including a spectacular lantern festival in November, when
thousands of glowing paper-and-paint sculptures are floated in the water. There's a museum
where you can learn about the history of the Cheong-gye-cheon.
