A place worth knowing

The mapped starting point is Cheonggye Plaza, rather than a promise to walk the entire stream. Start here and choose an exit that fits your next stop, with Gwangjang Market further east.

Access to the public stream paths is free. Weather, water levels and maintenance can affect entry, so follow local closures and signs. Steps and ramps vary by entrance. Lighting along the stream is not a claim that a temporary festival is currently taking place.
