Dongdaemun > Seoul ~ South Korea > Day 11 (5) - 2014 October 18 (Busan, Gyeongju, Seoul, Daegwallyeong, Nami Island, Mt Seorak, Kuala Lumpur)

From Yongsan, we ride subway to Dongdaemun and walk around there. We also eat dinner in Doota.




Cheonggyecheon Stream also can be reached from Dongdaemun. It's more beautiful in night.

After that, we go back to hotel to rest and packing. Today is our last day in Seoul.

Cheonggyecheon Stream 청계천 > Seoul ~ South Korea > Day 10 (7) - 2014 October 17 (Busan, Gyeongju, Seoul, Daegwallyeong, Nami Island, Mt Seorak, Kuala Lumpur)

From Yeouido, I decided to walk at Cheonggyecheon Stream. There's so many subway that could lead to the stream, so I choose Euljiro 3(san)-ga to Euljiro 4(sa)-ga.

Until it was restored in 2005, Cheonggyecheon Stream existed only as a neglected waterway hidden by an overpass. Today, it has been transformed into a haven of natural beauty amidst the bustle of city life.

Narae Bridge, representing a butterfly in flight, and Gwanggyo Bridge, symbolizing the harmony of the past and future, are just two of the more than twenty beautiful bridges that cross the stream. The Rhythmic Wall Stream, lined with fine marble, sculptures, and Korea’s 8th stone building, Palseokdam, adorn the Cheonggyecheon Stream.

Cheonggyecheon Stream passes close to Deoksugung Palace, Seoul Plaza, the Sejong Center, Insa-dong Street, Changdeokgung Palace, and Changgyeonggung Palace, allowing visitors to easily visit major tourist sites after a leisurely stroll along the stream.









It's unique. Pity I didn't have a change to explore more. Maybe next time. :)
