Cheonggyecheon Stream Night Stroll (청계천 야간 산책)
The Cheonggyecheon stream restored in 2005 runs 5.8 kilometres from the Cheonggye Plaza near City Hall through the centre of Seoul before rejoining the Han River, with a continuous pedestrian path at water level below the street grid. The night walk from the Gwanggyo bridge section eastward through the Seungyo and Biudang bridges is at its most atmospheric after 9 p.m. — the water illumination system lights the stream from below and the surrounding commercial buildings fall quiet. The Cheonggyecheon was a covered drainage ditch for the middle decades of the 20th century; the restoration exposed the original stream and the archaeological remains of colonial-era bridges visible in the walls of several crossing points.
