Explore the Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul, South Korea. This 10.9-kilometer stream, originating from the Bukhansan mountain range in the north and flowing south to the Han River, has a rich history dating back to the Joseon Dynasty, where it was used for various purposes. Over time, urban development led to its pollution and concealment beneath highways and infrastructure. In 2003, Seoul initiated a major restoration project to uncover and rejuvenate the stream. The restoration involved removing highways, restoring its banks, and revitalizing the surrounding areas. Today, it's a popular public space and cultural attraction with pedestrian walkways, public art installations, and a traditional Korean lantern festival.
