Faith's Light: A Stroll Through Seoul's Soul and History.

Day 1 In the early morning, I visited Seoul's oldest Christian church, Saemoonan Church. The church's exterior is majestic and grand, blending traditional and modern architectural designs, exuding a sense of historical depth. Upon entering, the towering arched ceilings and stained glass instantly evoke a sense of tranquility and sanctity. The morning prayer ceremony was heartwarming, with melodious hymns that seemed to infuse new strength into the soul. After the visit, I strolled to the nearby Insadong, where the alleys retain the ancient charm of traditional Korea. I enjoyed a fragrant cup of omija tea at a teahouse and bought some exquisite handmade souvenirs, adding many memories to the day's exploration. Day 2 On the second day, I headed towards Gwanghwamun Square, tracing Seoul's past and present along the path of history. Passing by Saemoonan Church again, the church appeared even warmer and more solemn under the sunlight. I entered the church's museum to gain a deeper understanding of the development of Christianity in Korea, marveling at how faith's power transcends time and space to influence this land. In the afternoon, I visited Gyeongbokgung Palace, admired the magnificent Korean palace architecture, and participated in a traditional costume experience, feeling the cultural charm of the Joseon Dynasty. As the sun set, I strolled along Cheonggyecheon, ending a day filled with history and spirituality.
