This image depicts a nighttime scene of the Cheonggyecheon stream, a prominent urban renewal area, located in Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea. The central feature is a narrow, shallow stream flowing through the urban landscape. Its bed contains various stone blocks and a prominent rectangular stone platform. Both banks of the stream feature well-lit pedestrian pathways constructed from light-colored stone or concrete. These pathways are illuminated by numerous ground-level lights embedded along their edges and retaining walls. On the left bank, multiple individuals are seated on tiered steps that descend towards the water. Approximately ten individuals are visible, seated in small groups, with two individuals positioned on a lower, curved platform closer to the stream. The bank's upper section is a stone retaining wall partially covered by climbing vegetation. Above this bank, a multi-story commercial building with bright linear facade lighting and illuminated signage (e.g., "11J") is visible, separated from the stream area by an active roadway with vehicles. On the right bank, approximately 15 to 20 individuals are present. Some are walking along the pathway, while others are seated on the steps that lead to the water's edge, with several individuals observed with their feet in the stream. A group of four individuals stands near the water. The retaining wall on this side exhibits sections with what appear to be decorative murals or reliefs. Above this bank, a large, modern building identified by a sign reading "KOREA FINANCE COMPLEX" is prominent, with additional urban structures visible in the background against a dark, clear night sky.
