Jun 2022

It's near the flea market. The market is very crowded but it was very quiet inside the shrine. General Gwan, a famous man in 3 kingdom history in China, is worshiped as a god. It shows that there was a period in korean history that koreans were forced to worship chinese god.

“Worth a visit”

Nice, little square with historic architecture. Try to avoid the flee market though, it can get really stressful and disorderly with tons of people.
