Chenggyecheon 청계천

Seoul is also home to the headquarters of many large companies.

 

 

These places are usually made up of large building forests.

 

But can you believe there is a river between these building forests?

 

 

There is Seoul.

 

 

 

In Seoul, there is a stream called Cheonggyecheon, which is as long as 10 kilometers.

 

 

 

This Place was once a stream on the verge of collapse. However, through a huge project, it has transformed into a good place to take a walk.

 

 

 

It is also famous not only for Seoulites but also for tourists, so many people come here to walk.

 

 

The trail is a two-hour walk from the beginning to the end, and a four-hour round trip.

 

 

 

In fact, the site was renovated several times during the Joseon Dynasty.

 

 

 

However, the reason why this place has changed beautifully is that the 17th President of the Republic of Korea, Lee Myung-bak, worked on the Cheonggyecheon restoration project as a project during his tenure as the mayor of Seoul.

 

Lee Myung-bak (1941 ~ ) The 17th President of south korea Lee Myung-bak is also the protagonist of a famous anecdote from a poor office worker to a large company boss. when obama was the United States president, he even pick Lee Myung-bak as one of the closest politicians.

Lee Myung-bak's Cheonggyecheon restoration project was so successful that he could win the 17th presidential election.

 

 

 

Chenggyecheon is an artificial structure, and many works of art can also be see

Cheonggyecheon Stream is now close to an artificial structure, and the advantage of the artificial structure is that it is 'pretty'.

 

As you can see from the pictures, there are many places to take pictures here and there, and the water is clean, so even fish swim around.

 

 

and this place is also free. Because it is a pretty trail where there is no entrance fee, it is loved by everyone, regardless of whether they work out, come to play, or come to rest.

 

 

And imagine that in the middle of all the buildings, there's such a pretty river...

 

 

I don't think there will be such a beautiful place anywhere in any area.
