Hello! Today is my Seoul exploration post! ❤️ On this day, I went to Seodaemun Prison, Independence Gate, and Namsan! In fact, I have lived in Seoul for a long time and have not been to many places, but on this day, I think I explored Seoul all at once! I learned history and saw the night view! It was a very meaningful day for me! I finished it off by taking the cable car up to Namsan and seeing the night view, and it was cool and open, and I felt really good! If I have time next time, I will explore Seoul on this course! I recommend it to you all! #Seoul travel #Domestic travel #Youth travel #Traveling alone #I am here now #Romantic king #Hot cafe #Life shot spot #Winter travel #Safe travel #Happy New Year #City travel

The Independence Gate (also known as Dongnimmun Gate) is located in the south-east corner of the Seodaemun Independence Park and near to the Prison History Hall (just few meters away), in the city of Seoul. This is a memorial built to honor the Korean fighters in search of a national independence. As part of a day-trip to this area it’s recommended to continue traveling in the park and then visit the Prison Hall. #merrychristmas #travelinspiration #historicallandmarks #merrychristmas

Independence Gate Park, located in Seoul, South Korea, is a beautiful park that combines history and nature. The park's most iconic landmark is the Independence Gate, a monument symbolizing Korea's independence and sovereignty. Built in 1902, the gate commemorates Korea's efforts to free itself from foreign influence. The park features expansive green spaces and walking trails, making it perfect for strolling, jogging, or hosting family gatherings. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil environment while learning about Korea's history and culture. The park also offers various facilities, including rest areas and playgrounds, catering to visitors of all ages. Independence Gate Park is not only a great place to learn about Korean history but also an ideal spot for Seoul residents to relax and find peace amidst the bustling city life.

This time, I will introduce Independence Gate, which is located right next to Independence Gate Station in Seoul! There are large bronze statues and gates here! It may be good for those who like Korean history! Even if you can't read Korean, you can use a translator or come for a walk! There seemed to be more old Koreans than young people! I like history, so I thought it was worth going! Please go and check it out! ! 📍Independence Gate Address: 941 Hyeonjeok-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul Opening hours: Open 24 hours #0 yen trip February 2025

#Seoul Itinerary Amid the hustle and bustle of Seoul, there lies an oasis full of historical memories – Seodaemun Independence Park. This is not only a great place for leisure, but also an important landmark to trace the past. Today, let us embark on this meaningful journey together! 🚶♂️✨ From downtown Seoul, you can take Subway Line 3, get off at Independence Gate Station, and walk about 150 meters (about 2 minutes) to the park. This mode of transportation is convenient and fast, allowing you to easily start your day's adventure. Upon entering the park, the first thing that catches your eye is the Independence Gate, which symbolizes Korea’s independence movement. Walking through the park, you will find many monuments, such as the Martyrs Memorial Tower and the March 1 Declaration of Independence Memorial Tower, which make people think about the heaviness and hope brought by history. 🌳💭 There are many food stalls and restaurants near the park where you can try traditional Korean fried chicken or delicious bibimbap to fill your stomach and prepare for the afternoon's activities. Next, we headed to the Seodaemon Prison History Museum, which was once a prison during the Japanese occupation era, where many patriots who fought for national independence suffered. Through the exhibition, you can gain a deeper understanding of that intense history and feel the tenacity of those brave souls. 📜🕊️ After finishing your historical exploration, you can take a leisurely stroll in the park, take some beautiful photos as souvenirs, or find a quiet corner to quietly recall what you have seen and heard that day. Perhaps you will find that these historical stories have already sprouted in your heart. This day's journey not only allowed us to enjoy the beauty of nature, but also made us reflect deeply on the significance of history. Seodaemun Independence Park is not only a tourist attraction, it is a spiritual sustenance for every visitor, allowing us to find a bit of tranquility and space for reflection in our busy lives. Next time you come to Seoul, give yourself a chance to feel the echoes of history here. ❤️ #seoul #sedemun

This is a sculpture located in Seodaemun. It is a stone gate built to inherit and emphasize the meaning of independence. It resembles the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It looks like you can climb up to it, but I don't think it is because I've never seen it open. Let's walk with a pious mind, thinking about the preciousness of liberation. #2025OverseasTravelEvent

It is more difficult to go up the mountain from Yonsei University, but the scenery is more beautiful. You will see a large cedar forest. It is especially beautiful when the weather is good. You will never forget it after seeing it once. Going towards Independence Gate Park, you can see the cherry blossom path in spring and the maple leaf path in autumn. This Ansan is really worth going! If you are not physically strong, take the mountain path of Independence Gate Park. It is very easy to walk, just like taking a walk.

#Hiking #CityTrip #SeoulTrip #AnsanJalakgil I like walking around leisurely while chatting with friends and lovers!!! There are so many delicious restaurants nearby~ Walk the 2-hour course well!! Eat something delicious💪 📍AnsanJalakgil, Dongnimmun Station
