So magnificent! I loved majestic architecture in this place. I also loved the way that the guide introduce me the history of Korea and this attraction.

Absolutely loved the mountains in the background and to see the palace in the distance. The statue is very well made. At the sides of the square is a floor plaque for each year with something written next to it (wasn’t in English so unsure what it said but I found it really intriguing). I loved the buildings and really feeling like you were in Seoul.

Along this busy street are many statues and historical markers to Korean history. This is where parades, events and demonstrations happen. At the end of the street is the palace. Well worth walking the entire length.

The statute is massive and situated right in front of the palace entrance so it can’t be missed. We went early and managed to avoid the crowds.

the squarer surround by the changeoung stream, the king sejong statue, and the gyeungbokgung palace, in front of gwanghwamun gate, exactly in the centre of the city when the modern building mix with the traditional culture
