Cheonggeycheon is the stream flows from the center of Seoul to Han River.
Cheonggeycheon means Clean Stream. Yes, It was clean before the industrialization in Korea. We have gained and lost many things through the industrialization. The one of the lost thing was Cheonggyecheon. From late 60th, Cheonggyecheon had been polluted seriously. The smell was unbearable, so they decide to cover Cheonggeycheon and make a road. About 40 years later, the mayor of Seoul city made up his mind to remove the road and made clean cheonggyecheon again. The mayor was became President of Korea. He was Lee Myeongbak. Cheonggyecheon was the only success in his political life.
Anyway overview was awesome. Where do you enjoy this beautiful stream in the center of the downtown.
People were enjoying strolling along the stream
You could cross from here to there
Under the bridge you could take a rest for a while
When the weather become too hot to stay at home, people are escaping from the heat under the bridge
When you are free, you can just sit on the streamside.
Look at those salary men, they are talking to each other. The Fishes and doves try to intervene their dialogue
I wish you a nice weekend.
You do such a nice job of your writing, you always explain things so nicely like when you said

Beautiful @slowwalker! Unfortunately I missed this when I lived in Korea a few years ago.
You need to visit korea once again
Yes I do @slowwalker! I was on contract with an agency and did commercials for GS and Samsung while I was in town. I really loved the country :-) I wonder if I could dig up some old pics from my shoot for e-mart?
Looks very serene, and a wonderful place to think @slowwalker:)
That's right @steemit-life

I love that they made the effort to restore this by removing the streets that once passed over this beautiful landmark.
Definitely gives Seoul something special!
Definitely It was great thing
@slowwalker love your pics and how you explain it.

Thank you @colimec
Look at the stream, looks so clean. In my place, a stream that is close to the city like that, its impossible to see clean water. It amazed me how discipline people in your place. Excellent
Thank you.
Time resolved many problems.
Indeed, time is the best healer.
Wow. We have a river that travels through downtown Chicago... but it is very dirty. This looks beautiful!
Thank you so much @hanshotfirst
good luck!
👍
I'm a US Expat living right outside of Seoul. I'm only 25 minutes from downtown Seoul. I have a recent blog that I did on Steemit regarding Seoul. I don't have as many followers as you, but I'm working on it.
Nice to meet you here.
You will get many followers when you continue to post.
Went to a lantern festival here a couple of years ago! So much fun and such a fun spot -tons of great street food up on the street level as well. Great photos!
You need to visit once again :))
