Cheonggye Plaza

청계광장

Jongno, Seoul · 서울

The head of Cheonggyecheon, marked by Oldenburg’s twenty-metre Spring sculpture, where the water is released and the stepped walk downstream begins.

Why it’s worth it

Start here and walk the stream east — it drops below street level within a hundred metres and the city noise goes with it. Lantern festival every November.
