Oncheoncheon (Korean: 온천천), also Oncheon Stream or Oncheon River, is a tributary of the Suyeong River in Busan, South Korea.[1] It was previously known as the Seocheon or Dongnaecheon.[citation needed] The source of the river is on Geumjeongsan.[1] It then flows through the built-up area of Busan, passing between Allak-dong (Dongnae District) and Yeonsan-dong (Yeonje District) along the way.[2]
In 2003, the Busan municipal government began redevelopment in order to address the stream's environmental issues and provide recreation facilities on its banks.[1] The Oncheon Stream Park along the banks of the river is an excellent place to view the blossoming of cherry trees.[2]
