    Lonely Planet wrote, “For over a decade Seoul has been striving to become a greener, more attractive and user-friendly metropolis. Following on from successful projects such as the Cheonggyecheon, where an aging elevated highway was torn down and replaced with a central park and waterway, the city will unveil in the latter part of 2017 the Seoul Skygarden.”

    Seoul has been named one of the top ten tourist cities in the world for three consecutive years beginning in 2014, and hosted the third most international meetings among all global cities in 2015.
