Near City Hall there is an 8km river walkway that gives passerby a nice and cool spot to unwind during a hot summer day.
The walkway is named Cheonggyecheon and is a quick five minutes from Gwanghwamun Subway Station.
On the walk to the river walk you can stumble across nifty pieces of art work.
Sheila and I don’t know what exactly this is, but it practically begged to be photographed. I’m going with “upside down ice cream cone from hell”.
Besides people strolling or lounging, the walkway also has performers strumming guitars, singing or dancing or doing whatever the guy above is doing when you can’t sing or dance or play an instrument.
There was also a section of the walkway where pedestrians could spray paint graffiti all over the wall. 
Here I am giving it my best shot with my initials. I’m sure it was covered up five seconds later as more and more people needed space to leave their mark.
Sam gives it a go.

The professional street artists, not vandals, were out in force creating their masterpieces.
The river walkway has a few bridges such as the stone crossing. Luckily foot traffic wasn’t that bad or it could have gotten dodgy.
There was also a stage set up with a number of performances. The belly dancers took the stage.
And were joined by a dancing guy on stilts who performed a number of acrobatic stunts.
It was all quite lovely and the dancers had on the perfect outfits for such hot weather.
