Description
Starting from the Shell Fountain at Cheonggye Plaza, the symbolic entrance to Cheonggyecheon Stream, your walk leads you to Gwangtonggyo Bridge—once the largest bridge of the Joseon Dynasty—where you can appreciate the intricate patterns carved into the foundation stones from Queen Sindeok's tomb and uncover the hidden history nestled in the heart of the city. As you follow the refreshing waters along the stream, passing Jangtonggyo and Samilgyo Bridges featuring the magnificent wall mural of King Jeongjo's Royal Procession, you will arrive at Supyogyo Bridge to learn about Joseon's historical water-level measurement system and the modern significance of the Cheonggyecheon restoration. Enjoying the serene urban atmosphere, taking the exit near Majeongyo Bridge brings you directly to Gwangjang Market, Korea's first permanent traditional market with over a century of history. Stepping into the vibrant market alleyways, you can indulge in iconic local delicacies—from freshly fried, crispy mung bean pancakes and addictively savory mayak gimbap to fresh yukhoe (beef tartare)—bringing this delightful three-hour journey of city walking and culinary discovery to a perfect finish.
