Samilgyo Bridge is one of the most photogenic spots along the Cheonggyecheon Stream, right in the heart of Seoul’s busy downtown. As you wander beneath its soft evening lights, it’s hard to believe that this entire stream was once covered by an elevated highway until a major restoration project brought it back to life in 2005. Cheonggyecheon stretches for about 11 kilometers and drops nearly 5 meters in elevation from start to finish, creating a gentle urban waterway that feels worlds away from the city above. And somewhere near Samilgyo Bridge, a little penguin stone now hides, placed there during our final night waddle through Seoul, a tiny reminder of our adventure tucked between the rippling water and the glow of the bridge.
