Saetgang Bridge: A Pedestrian Bridge

Willow, ponds, ecosystem, parks, visitor center,well, it's winter...and the grass were all dying or not that pretty to look at, but the simple excitement of being there for the first time was a plus in its own.
..should've gone home earlier, but I decided to go explore this less-trodden track near the Saetgang bridge that I saw a couple of times on my bus-ride to my workplace.
Turned out to be a cool place to see...and COLD, too.
...considering the frozen creek in the area. It's a surreal feeling to be there by myself...in the dusk...with the chilling weather.
I guess...my urge of exploring a new area was the driving force that kept me going...exploring this ecosystem underneath the bridge.
Bumped into this wooden bridge over the frozen river....overlooking three high-rises afar.
It's a bit monotonous from here. But, I'll be back ..in spring to see how it'll change colors.
white frozen creek, high-rises at its background, dried grass, bland view of the whole neighborhood since it's a cold winter....Still, I saw beauty in it.
The bridge..from afar...does not look that high, but...it is so darn high. Got me chills when I was climbing up the stairs leading up to the upper deck.
With its unique architectural design, this is definitely one of the best spots to see Youido, one of Seoul's business districts.
The modern-design of this bridge indeed gives a boost of the area: 
a combination of modernity and nature.

A Night View of Dream Forest: An Observation Deck

It's about 7 pm and no one's visible from where I was standing. Yup, the library at the Dream Forest was open. As usual, it opens until 9 pm. Yet, I didn't see a single soul within. Guess, the chilling winter might've played its checkmate. But, that's not where I was going...I was about to go to the observation deck...beyond.
Anyway..to reach the top, I got to take the 45-degree-slanted-elevator.
The last time I was here, it took about 15 minutes to wait in line. But...today..I didn't find anyone else. So, it was a hassle-free ride ..up and down..if I ever wanted to.^^
This is it. An observation deck which turned out to be the place where a spy-drama was shot. This place got its fame...thanks to this particular drama, as well....so I learned.
I was a bit scared of height at first...since the idea of being on the deck where nothing seemed to be suspend its very existence really 'perturbed' and 'twisted' my brain. 
Of course, I was just being delirious. 
An empty forest. An empty park.....except me....a crazy person who walked onto the park..in the middle of the night.....in the midst of this chilling winter^^
...but at least..I burned up my calories....walking up the hills,,,,,going up and down the park....in Seoul Dream Forest. After all..this is just a 10-minute bus-drive from home.

Night Hiking @ Bonghwasan

We're the bunch of students who want to take down the level of stress...by hiking at night.
It took us about 30 minutes to reach the top of this 'mountain'^^
Some pictures just seemed to be not what we'd ezexpected. It didn't capture the night view of Seoul at the background.
yep...9 o'clock p.m.
then we were wandering off...up ...and...down...scrambling to find the exit^^
.....till we finally. ...
safely arrived at the nearest McD.^^
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Cheonggyecheon


I have been to this place (let's see) four times I suppose. But, I never get tired of it.
Well who could be? It is dubbed one of the man-made marvels to date.
I mean, this place is like a sanctuary for any weary office workers who got to work late until midnight or so.









For some, it could also a mean of great outdoor activity venue, for its being free of charge....to get the most out of it.






The 5-km long stream is one of the best spots to be in Seoul.
So, we were walking up the stream from Dongdaemun to Gwanghwamun where this stream starts its journey. The night-walk was a good decision for us to do, since we could just spare our time in the midst of this tranquility beneath the towering skyscrapers that dots both sides of the stream.
Here are what they look like at night:
