I couldn't digest my food after driving, so I walked to Bulgwangcheon and exercised. The night view of Bulgwangcheon was surprisingly nice. It was cold, but I didn't even know it was cold while walking.

I'm taking a walk with my wife in Bulgwangcheon in the early aughts. The sky is completely submerged in the water. The view all the way to Bukhansan Mountain in the distance is wide open.

Fortunately, the rain stopped on the last day of the long holiday. Although it was a little cloudy, I made a round trip from Eungam Station to the confluence of Hongjecheon Stream, Bulgwangcheon Stream, which was filled with the smell of autumn.

On the way home, I returned Ddareungi and walked along Bulgwangcheon Stream. Just looking at Bulgwangcheon Stream flowing so clearly is refreshing.

I felt refreshed by the clear flowing Bulgwangcheon Stream. I had some time before the meeting, so I walked around Bulgwangcheon Stream.

The sound of spring can also be heard in Bulgwangcheon. It is crowded with people who have shed their thick winter clothes and exercised in light clothes in the warm sunlight. The water stream, which has been frozen all winter, is flowing coolly. I am waiting for Bulgwangcheon, with its cherry blossoms in full bloom, to arrive quickly.

Bulgwangcheon is a stream that begins at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain and is a dry stream that flows into the Han River. The section from Bulgwang-dong Suri Park to Sinsa Intersection is covered, and a bicycle road is installed from Sinsa Intersection to the confluence of Hongjecheon Stream near Seongsan Underpass, and if you go all the way down, it connects to Hangang Park. It was previously an urban stream with a foul odor and flowing domestic sewage, but Eunpyeong-gu, Seodaemun-gu, and Mapo-gu worked together to re-naturalize it. As a successful river, it is said to be home to various wild birds such as herons, egrets, mallards, and wagtails, as well as reptiles such as turtles and red-eared turtles. Today, I walked the 5.25km round trip from Eungam Station to the Han River.

I walked from Eungam Bulgwangcheon to the Han River, and there are so many things to see these days. Bulgwangcheon on the Sangam side has a lot of trees. We planted a lot of green barley starting from Eungam. I love the way green barley gently sways in the wind. Bulgwangcheon on the Sangam side is quiet and good for a walk, and there are many trees, so the air is different. This is something I always feel while taking a walk. Poppies have been planted on a large scale here. It will be fantastic when the poppies are all in bloom. The acacia flowers were all in bloom, no matter when they bloomed. I was the only one who didn't know. It's mating season right now, so the fish aren't jumping around and making a fuss. It's also very fun to watch. This is the season when the mulberries on the mulberry trees are ripening. It's not ripe yet.

With the snow that fell overnight, the white Bukhansan Mountain in the distance is a spectacular view. The white clouds in the sky are like fall. Many people are walking and exercising, and most of those running are young people.
