Huge central plaza in front of Gyeongbukgong Palace, and easily accessible through the city subway. Check out the statue of King Sejong at the middle of the square - there's an entrance at the back leading to an underground museum dedicated to the life and works of Sejong The Great.

    Gwanghwamun Square, which can be said to be the heart of our country! Many people are looking for it after work as the rain stopped and the sun was pouring down.. Walking around this square in the cool breeze is a healing itself ^^ Be sure to take a walk ^^

    We met in Guanghuamen Square for a special exhibition of the Winter Olympics. There is a free outdoor ice rink. There are various Winter Olympics publicity activities. There is a robotic arm to simulate the high-level skiing. It is quite exciting. A group of four people, standing and fixed, headband VR glasses, The huge robotic arm simulates the irritation of various skiing in the air, and when you dive down, people are screaming, that is, the queue is too long, and we watched it for a while. There are various dolls and mascots inside, attracting many young people to take pictures, and everyone does not want to miss the four-year event.

    Used to be and still is a busy street but now it's modified to be much more pedestrian friendly. A nice and wide place that houses many events.

    Guanghua Gate is located in the center of Seoul. The Shizong Road from Guanghua Gate to the city hall is known as the heart of Seoul. In Guanghua Gate Square, every year from March to June, August to November during 10:00-15:00, there will be a job change ceremony, the job change ceremony is absolutely a major feature of Guanghua Gate Square. The Guanghua Gate also has the project of experiencing Korean clothes. There are all kinds of clothes, such as general and soldier, on the left side of the main gate. They are free. But there are fixed time points, queuing, each time only six or seven people experience, and then you continue to queue for the next open time point. For the children who have a lot of time, they can arrange it, so they don't have to spend money outside to experience it. Moreover, the Guanghua Gate and Jingfu Palace are linked together. From the Guanghua Gate, the Jingfu Palace is behind, and tickets are required to enter the Jingfu Palace. Entering the Guanghua Gate, you can see the ticket office at the entrance of Jingfu Palace. The ticket is 6000 won. PS: The best way to visit Guanghua Gate and Jingfu Palace is to go in through Guanghua Gate, turn around the palace and go out from Dongmen, then you can go directly to Sanqingdong and Hanwu Village, North Village.
