sun 5.7.06 ~ 2:01a ~ seoul, korea prev ~ next

today after walking from my house to downtown seoul i decided to check out 청계천 (cheonggyecheon), a stream with walkways that was restored and opened to the public last year. i'd seen it briefly before, but never got the chance to actually take a stroll along it.

it all starts with this fountain downtown near city hall

image
then it flows down this little waterfall

image
and then it continues through downtown seoul for almost 6 kilometers

image
another stretch down the stream

image
lots of people enjoying the shade under one of many bridges that crosses over

image
at certain spots like this you can cross over to the other side

image
i didn't walk the whole way, but stopped and got this shot from above

why doesn't los angeles do something like this to the disgusting and pathetic LA river?
