A hidden gem in Gangnam. This peaceful urban stream is lined with cherry trees, and during the Lantern Festival, thousands of lanterns create a magical corridor of light with fireworks and concerts.
Yangjaecheon Stream is a hidden gem in Gangnam — a peaceful urban stream lined with cherry trees that creates a stunning pink tunnel every spring. Unlike the crowded Yeouido cherry blossom spots, Yangjaecheon offers a more local relaxed experience perfect for a long leisurely walk or jog. In the evening during cherry blossom season, lanterns illuminate the trees creating a magical nighttime atmosphere. The stream path stretches for several kilometers, passing under bridges and through residential neighborhoods that show a quieter side of Gangnam.
