Family make a wish for lucky at Cheonggyecheon Stream, South Korea #88641538
Description
Cheonggyecheon is an 11 km long modern stream that runs through downtown Seoul. Created as part of an urban renewal project, Cheonggyecheon is a restoration of the stream that was once there before during the Joseon Dynasty 1392-1910. The stream was covered with an elevated highway after the Korean War 1950-1953, as part of the country`s post-war economic development. Then in 2003, the elevated highway was removed to restore the stream to its present form today. The stream starts from Cheonggye Plaza, a popular cultural arts venue, and passes under a total of 22 bridges before flowing into the Hangang River, with many attractions along its length.
