On a weekend evening just before Christmas, I visited the Seoul Finance Center (SFC) to enjoy some fresh air and the holiday atmosphere.
Located right next to Cheonggyecheon, SFC is a great place to enjoy both indoor comfort and outdoor scenery, especially during winter.

The lights and ornaments created a warm, cozy atmosphere without feeling overwhelming.

🌉 Cheonggyecheon Walk & Performances
From the first floor, you can walk directly to Cheonggyecheon Stream.
During our visit, there was a musical performance featuring a man wearing traditional Korean clothing, along with festive lights, traditional style figures, and Christmas decorations.
With so many people around, the area truly felt like a holiday festival.
