Magical
This was just stunning. I went at dusk. Even though it was slightly chilly with light rain, the atmosphere and setting were just magical. The lights and skyscrapers, the couples sitting by the stream or families and friends catching up, whatever the occasion it was the atmosphere, vibe and setting that just captured my heart. Loved it. I took a slow stroll from one end to the other and back. There are some information boards which are really interesting to read giving you some facts about the stream and the surrounding area. This is a must for any trip to Seoul. I was lucky the evening I was there, the sky turned this stunning colour with the dark grey clouds and purple sunset. Suggest going in the early evening. There are a few places nearby to grab a drink or bite to eat after.

The Revived River in middle of Seoul
A historic river which has a nice story behind it as a heritage for Kirean, how it was and why the gov had to cover it with concrete and then revice it again. No entrance fee and Its a beautiful place to walk and run along this water sream (its smaller than a river in width and so shallow). I visited it at night (upon arrival to Seoul) and walked all the way along it. Nothing special for the stream itself but a very nice historical story behind it. (Check my photos)
