This museum is a truly wonderful experience! Highly recommended!

The exhibition halls are well-organized, and the supplementary exhibits are diverse, mostly digital, with interactive touches. Key exhibits are meticulously crafted to create an immersive and engaging atmosphere (especially the &quot;Thinking Hall&quot; on the second floor. From the moment you enter to the moment you encounter the artifacts, you truly resonate and feel a deep impact).

The museum also offers excellent child and youth education, with small groups of teachers providing guided tours and child-friendly signage throughout the halls (this is definitely the place in Seoul where you&#39;ll see the most children...).

The cultural and creative shop is also a delight to browse. Almost every design is beautiful, and there are limited editions. If you visit at the beginning of the year, you&#39;ll receive a free New Year&#39;s postcard with any purchase.

Easy to use the QR code. I realised that the crowds getting lesser during evening. Whereby less time to que for the rides. There&rsquo;s no water dispenser around the park to refill your water. Microwave also not available for you to reheat your outside food. There is CU Mart before the entrance if you want to grab snacks into the park.

Seoul Tower, right?
That&#39;s it.
I&#39;ve been there four times in ten years, and every time is the same.
It&#39;s nice to have a drink and enjoy the view, the sunset, and the night view.
The length of your stay will vary depending on what you want to do.
Don&#39;t forget to get off the mountain in time.

Myeongdong Cathedral is worth a visit. As South Korea&#39;s oldest local church and a symbol of the Korean Catholic Church, it possesses unique historical, cultural, and architectural value. [__LINK_ICON] Here are some of its highlights:

- Unique Architectural Style: Myeongdong Cathedral is South Korea&#39;s first brick Gothic building. Its plan is a three-beam cross, and the building is symmetrical around its central axis, giving it a sense of solemnity and stability. The cathedral stands 23 meters tall, with the main tower standing 45 meters. Its majestic and simple exterior, with its red brickwork and elegant lines, creates a strong visual impact.
- Exquisite Interior [__LINK_ICON]: In contrast to the simple Gothic exterior, the interior, dominated by arched corridors and stained glass, showcases the beauty of the space. The altars, stained glass, and other religious artworks located in various corners also contribute to Myeongdong Cathedral&#39;s exceptional religious and artistic value. - Rich Historical and Cultural Heritage [__LINK_ICON]: The Myeongdong Cathedral, founded in 1784 with the Myeongryebang religious gathering and completed in 1898, bears witness to the development of Catholicism in Korea. Throughout the turbulent years of Korea&#39;s modern history, it served as a sacred site for democratization and played a vital role in protecting human rights and social justice.
- Special Religious Significance: It is the center of Korean Catholicism, hosting a midnight mass every Christmas Eve, illuminated by neon lights, creating a mysterious and beautiful atmosphere. The underground church houses the remains of martyrs from the Jihai and Bingshen persecutions, holding special religious significance for Catholics.
- Popular Film and Television Location: Myeongdong Cathedral served as a filming location for the hit Korean drama &quot;You&#39;re Beautiful&quot; and the music video for the song &quot;Hope&quot; by the founding K-Pop group H.O.T. It is also a popular location for location shoots for numerous Korean dramas and variety shows, attracting numerous fans.
