Cheonggyecheon Square, created on Sejong-ro where Cheonggyecheon begins, extends 160m in length and 50m in width (total area of 2,106 pyeong) from in front of the Dong-a Ilbo building, the starting point of Cheonggyecheon restoration, to Sindam Steel Bridge. It is decorated with fountains and waterfalls of various shapes, a miniature of Cheonggyecheon, walking paths and exploration trails, creating beautiful scenery. It was created as a space that embodies the significance of Cheonggyecheon restoration along with hopes for meeting, harmony, peace and reunification. A candle fountain with harmonious tricolor lighting and a two-tiered waterfall dropping 4 meters create a spectacular view. On both sides of the waterfall, stone banks made of Paldo stone brought from across the country have been laid. At night, light and water create a fantastic sight. Additionally, a miniature scaled down to 1/100 of the entire Cheonggyecheon provides another impressive view. Facilities for entering Cheonggyecheon from the square include a stepped entrance path on the left side and a Cheonggyecheon exploration trail on the right side. An 18-meter section of the Cheonggyecheon exploration trail has a tunnel installed, offering citizens a unique experience as they enter Cheonggyecheon from the square. After creating Cheonggyecheon Square, the Seoul Metropolitan Government designated this area as a car-free street on public holidays, allowing the square, waterfront space, and road to be used as rest and cultural spaces for citizens.
