Souimun Gate (昭義門) was once a prominent part of the Seoul City Wall during the Joseon dynasty. Situated between Sungnyemun and Donuimun Gates, it served as a key passageway to the southwest of Seoul.
The area surrounding Souimun was a bustling hub of both land and water transportation, filled with people and goods during the Joseon era.
Additionally, just outside Souimun was the site where individuals convicted of capital crimes, along with Catholics considered a threat to Neo-Confucian ideology, were executed. These public executions were meant to serve as a stark warning to passersby about the consequences of crime.
In 1914, during the Japanese colonial period, Souimun was demolished to make way for road development, as it was seen as an impediment to modernization.
This exhibition offers visitors a glimpse into Souimun's rich history, showcasing its role as both a guardian of the Seoul City Wall and a vibrant center of activity before its demolition.

Seoul Tower. Btw if you ask Koreans about Seoul Tower. They&rsquo;ll look clueless. The term is coined for foreigners, They called it namsan tower. Worth the visit. Make sure you get love locks. Gimmick? Yes will you wife or girlfriend love it? Absolutely. Happy wife happy life. Don&rsquo;t take my word for it take the view of a couple of thousand locks up there as witness. Well if you pissed your wife or gf off, bring them here and they&rsquo;ll probably forgive you.

A very worthwhile travel experience! My girlfriend and I were too lazy to make a plan and directly signed up for a one-day tour, focusing on convenience! ! The tour guide Sunny was kind and responsible, spoke Chinese fluently, gave full emotional value, kept praising the customers, and was very considerate in helping to take photos. Five-star praise! !

you can climb up on foot in about 1.5 - 2 hours, from the side of Myeongdong there is a nice village, which is worth a walk. If you have a hard time climbing, it is better to use the funicular. Also, there are almost no kiosks selling water along the way

The palace was built in 1395 (Hongwu, Ming Taizu, 28 years), and has undergone many destruction and reconstruction. The palace is named after the word &quot;Jingfu&quot; in &quot;Jingfu&quot; in &quot;Songs of Songs&quot;. The area and regulations of the palace are strictly followed by the patriarchal relationship with the patriarchal state of China. The county palace under the rule of the Prince was built according to the system of the Ming Dynasty palace. All buildings are distinguished from the yellow of the Chinese palace in the color of Danqing. 🪁 On the 50th anniversary of the Korean Guangfu Rehabilitation in 1995, the three governments of Jin Yong demolished the Japanese-occupied buildings on the grounds of restoring their traditional culture and &quot;clearing the symbols of the Japanese rule period&quot;, and the original site began a large-scale restoration of the Gyeongboku Palace and its annex buildings. In August 2010, South Korea rebuilt the Guanghua Gate, which was originally called &quot;de-Chineseization&quot; and was restored to a traditional Chinese character plaque.
