Introduction
Cheonggyecheon is an artificial canal that runs through the Jung-gu and Jongno-gu districts in the center of Seoul, with a total length of 10.84 kilometers. Walking along the river takes about three hours and has become an important place for citizens' leisure and tourist sightseeing. There are 22 bridges on Cheonggyecheon, including the famous Eight Views of Cheonggyecheon, which includes Cheonggye Plaza, Gwangtong Bridge, King Jeongjo's Royal Procession, Time Square, Cheonggyecheon Laundry Site, Ssal Forest Wetland, Retained Bridge Pillars, and Fountain Tunnel. The most famous landscape in Cheonggye Plaza is the "Spring Tower". The tall Triton shell symbolizes Cheonggye Plaza. In addition, the "Candlelight Fountain" is another famous attraction. The 4-meter-high waterfall falls into Cheonggyecheon, and is even more beautiful at night under the glow of the lights.
