An 11km urban stream cutting through downtown Seoul. At night, lit fountains and lanterns make it feel like the city floats.

Tip Start at Cheonggye Plaza (Gwanghwamun Station exit 5) and walk east — the best stretch to Dongdaemun is ~3km, about 50min. Go after dark for the light show at the waterfall fountain. In December, the Seoul Lantern Festival fills the stream with thousands of hanji paper lanterns and LED art — one of the most romantic nights in Seoul. The stepping stones across the water are a couple's rite of passage.
