About this place
Recently sensationalized as a key filming location in the hit K-drama 'Queen of Tears', Gwangtonggyo Bridge offers far more than just a photogenic backdrop. This historic stone bridge, one of the oldest in Seoul, dates back to the Joseon Dynasty in 1410. Once buried beneath asphalt during rapid modernization, it was meticulously restored using its original stones as part of the celebrated Cheonggyecheon Stream Restoration Project. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of Seoul's resilience, where ancient history meets the city's dynamic present. The contrast between the intricately carved stones and the surrounding skyscrapers is breathtaking. For the most magical experience, visit in the evening when the city lights dance on the water, creating a romantic ambiance perfect for a leisurely stroll. Easily accessible from Jonggak Station, it's an essential stop for history buffs, K-drama fans, and anyone seeking a moment of tranquility amidst the urban hustle.
