Hongjecheon Stream

Hongjecheon Stream is the first tributary of the Hangang River. The stream runs 13.92km-long and flows through Jongno-gu, Seodaemun-gu and Mapo-gu. The stream was historically also referred to as Hongjewoncheon Stream due to its proximity to the Joseon-era Hongjewon rest area. Visiting Chinese envoys and officials would often stop by here to refresh. Today, Hongjecheon is famous for its waterfall and bicycle path.
