The Chungae River

Index
We walked along the Chungae river, which runs through the midst of downtown Seoul’s. Down the steps to the river walk we went. The stroll under the beautiful soft lights along the river, with the sweet sound of flowing water beckons young lovers to be lost in their love.

I have no recollection of this river from my early years in this city. My mother remembers Chungae River all too well. She remembers it as a dirty river with poor peasant merchants swarming along it with their meager supply of fresh goods for sale.
