Gwangtonggyo Bridge along the Cheonggyecheon Stream is one of the most charming spots in central Seoul, blending calm waters with layers of history. The bridge itself dates back to the Joseon Dynasty and was once part of the main road leading toward Gwanghwamun, making it an important landmark for centuries. Today, it’s a peaceful place to pause, watch the flowing stream, and take in the soft glow of the lanterns that often decorate the area. When Cheonggyecheon was restored in the early 2000s, parts of the original bridge stones were discovered and carefully preserved, giving the site an authentic connection to its past. And somewhere beneath this modern calm, tucked near the edge of the walkway, a little penguin stone now hides. We secretly placed it there while waddling along the stream, waiting for a curious explorer to find it.
