Complete Photo Archive of Cheonggyecheon Stream

I’m happy to present you with my most complete photo archive of Cheonggyecheon Stream. Cheonggyecheon Stream is a manmade stream that flows through Seoul, South Korea. It has a rich history in the heart of traditional and cultural Seoul. After spending some time living in South Korea, I got into photography with the purchase of my first DSLR camera in September 2014. From that time forward, until leaving South Korea in May 2023, I frequently visited Cheonggyecheon Stream to document the spirit among locals and tourists along the water. That’s what I present to you today.

Light Festival on Cheonggyecheon Stream (December 2014)

At the end of 2014, I was happy to discover they were holding a light festival on the Cheonggyecheon stream with big displays of large lanterns depicting famous historic events and figures in Korean history. I was happy to photograph some of the scenes.
