Seoul hosted the Olympic Games in the summer of 1988.
I would like to introduce the ‘Cheonggyecheon’ stream which is being famous place. As you walk along the Cheon-Gye-Cheon, you can finally see the Gwang-Hwa-Mun. Gwanghwamun Plaza, including the statue of King Sejong the Great and the underground exhibition rooms has become essential sightseeing destinations. The night view is wonderful, and you can see the splendid lightings and fountains and you can relax the daily tiredness while walking in the nature that doesn't seem city.
