Gwanghwamun Square

Many people think this is just a square but behind the General's statue there is an entrance to a huge underground museum. It is so sad many people skip this place before entering the palace. That reminds me the word: There is an unseen thing behind every visible one. So if you go down the stairs or elevator you will at least witness the replica of this famous turtle ship here. Plus you can wear one of the traditional clothes here, get inside the replika ship and take photos. Please visit this place before you visit the palace and you can also chill at the square there are many shadowy areas and street music is on.

Although on first sight Gwanghwamun Square might not look spectacular and any different to other city and town squares, I liked visiting it and walking around. I started walking from one end of the square and took my time exploring the historical figures and monuments along the way. At the opposite end, the square leads to the grand Gyeongbukgung Palace. I found the square to be quite large and appreciated the amount of space there. It was popular for tourists as well as locals having lunch and passing through yet I didn't think the area was crowded and congested. The square was very clean and well looked after.

Came across Admiral Yi, looking fierce as ever, almost like he was scolding the broken sign in front of him. The whole square has this mix of history and modern city energy that makes it really unique. Even with a few things needing repair, the area still feels alive and inspiring.

A big square with statues as can be seen in photographs. Other than that, nothing much could be said. The huge video ads on the buildings could be interesting for some.

Love to be real!!! What I have see in K-Drama is on my sight. Nice performance on that day, I think it's kind of guard shif-change? Many places to be share on photograph.

After visiting the palace, we walked through the main gate to this lively road full of locals and tourists. Janice way to explore Seoul street life. Best time to do this walk is in the evening, walk from the palace gate through this area to the stream.

This walking area is insanely awesome. Especially when Netflix is putting out the squid game promotion. There were people everywhere, the dolls were standing around, even the guards were there. There are sitting areas and there's all these famous buildings around the plaza. It's a must for any visitor to Seoul. It takes you straight to the Royal Palace and the Royal museum. Easily get here using the subway which by the way is very easy to ride.

Everyone, Korean and foreigner should go here. It’s an amazing place with many different offerings, historical sites, beautiful scenes, comment at the end of the day for the sunset, outdoor library, River walkways, one of the most amazing places on earth.
