City Hall, what a sweet place

So on Chuseok day in the afternoon I decided to check out what City Hall was like in the day time. Well since it was Chuseok, it was a happening day. I got to check out some good traditional music, dancing, and performance. And I got to go into a temple in the middle of City Hall for free. Here's some pics to show you how beautiful this place really is.
I just love how you can see these beautiful mountains right in the middle of the city.
This is the Cheonggyecheon, a creek that flows right through the middle of the city, and is supposedly amazing during Christmas time.
This is the grassy area (one of the few you'll see in Seoul, where all the performances took place. It was a a really beautiful day, but also really really hot.
The entrance to the temple.
No explanation needed for these next pictures. Just sit in amazement at the beauty, and also at the perplexing contrast between old temple structures and high rise skyscrapers in the background. I think it's pretty cool.
