Introduction

On the way to the "Biyudang Bridge", after passing the "Yellow Crane Bridge" over Qingxi Creek, you can see the "Sixth Scene of Qingxi - Wishing Wall". This porcelain tile wall, with a length and width of 10 centimeters, records the beautiful wishes of more than 20,000 citizens, making the scenery of Qingxi Creek more colorful. In addition, visitors can also walk through the stepping stones in front of the "Wishing Wall" to visit the nearby "Rhythmic Wall Spring" and "Seoul Scenery", experiencing different scenery and style. It is worth mentioning that the "Rhythmic Wall Spring" is carved from marble, spraying 4,700 tons of water every day, and embedded with small stones on the wall to form many swimming fish. Qingxi Creek is 10.84 kilometers long, crossing the Seoul urban area. As early as the Korean era (1392-1910), it was used as a drainage ditch. It wasn't until 2005 that the city government renovated and covered it, restoring the ancient river to its original appearance. Now there is a walking path planned, where citizens and tourists can enjoy picturesque scenery. At the same time, Qingxi Creek is also one of the top eight scenic spots in Seoul and can be considered a river beauty full of cultural and historical heritage, known as the "Eight Sceneries of Qingxi".
