Dongdaemun Plaza, which has traveled through 600 years of time, reinterprets history with modern architectural vocabulary. The "Moonlight Rainbow Fountain" in the center of the square changes 26,000 LED lights at night, forming a wonderful dialogue with the ancient Heunginjimun city wall. We especially recommend going up to the "Sky Garden" on the top floor of the square, where you can overlook the skyline of both the traditional castle and modern skyscrapers.
A 5-minute stroll will take you to the reborn Cheonggyecheon Stream, a once covered underground river that has now been transformed into an ecological corridor through the city center. Walking along the river, you will find 22 bridges with their own characteristics, from the traditional "Padobyo Bridge" to the modern "Bridge of Light", each telling the story of Seoul's transformation. In the evening, the river reflects the lights on both sides, making it the best place to experience the romantic night view of Seoul.
