[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Gyeong-Gyojang (Updated Aug)

In memory of the temple, the place where Baekbeom Kim Gu's breath remains Gyeonggyojang, the last building of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and the place where Baekbeom Kim Gu passed away Gyeonggyojang, located in Pyeong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, is the residence of Baekbeom Kim Gu and the last building of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. It was the residence of Choi Chang-hak, a wealthy man during the Japanese colonial period, and Kim Gu stayed here for 3 years and 7 months until he was shot by Ahn Doo-hee on June 26, 1949. Gyeonggyojang was used as an embassy and hospital building after Kim Gu's death, and is currently open to the public after being restored to its original form as much as possible. A bullet mark remains on one side of the glass window of Kim Gu's office in Gyeonggyojang. Gyeonggyojang is a good example of the mature phase of modern architecture. Traces of beautiful modern architecture remain intact in many places, including arched windows, round columns, stone finishes, and tile finishes. What is unique is that the first floor is decorated in a Western style, while the second floor is decorated in a Japanese style tatami room, representing the painful history of the Japanese colonial period.

Gyeonggyojang. Historic Site No. 465 was the activity site of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea after liberation and the site where Baekbeom Kim Gu passed away. In November 1945, upon returning to the homeland, Kim Gu and the Provisional Government officials held a State Council meeting to devise specific plans for unification and promoted a movement opposing trusteeships by the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom. While actively engaged in political activities such as participating in North-South negotiations for the establishment of a unified government, Kim Gu was shot and killed by Ahn Doo-hee, a second lieutenant in the Republic of Korea Army and an agent of the US Forces Korea Counterintelligence Corps (CIC), in the reception room on the second floor of Gyeonggyojang on June 26, 1949. My Wish: Among the Countries I Want to See I want our country to be the most beautiful country in the world. I do not want it to be the most prosperous country. Our buoyancy is enough to enrich our lives, and our strength is enough to prevent invasion by others. The only thing I want endlessly is the power of high culture. The power of culture makes us happy and, going forward, gives happiness to others. When you walk on a snow-covered field, do not walk unsteadily. My footsteps today will become a milestone for those who come after me. Baekbeom Kim Gu. Educational activities: The foundation of education is the philosophy of the universe, life, and politics. National education is teaching a certain life skill on the basis of a certain philosophy. Knowledge and technical education that is not based on a sound philosophy is harmful to the individual and the country. From Independence movement: For me, who has suffered sorrow, shame, and longing for 70 years as a citizen without independence, the best thing in the world is to live and die as a citizen of a completely independent country. I once wanted to be the gatekeeper of our independent government, which means that if our country becomes an independent nation, I will be the most humble person in that country. From A Righteous Struggle: We appeal to the world about the difficult path that Koreans have walked to seek just public opinion, and at the same time, we are not the so-called praisers of violence, and we started from the firm recognition that, for us who have crossed the line of revolution, we can achieve the greatest effect with the minimum ability. From Military Activities: From this point on, not only will the Samhan Geon-ah jump into the rugged mountains and deep waters, but also stay up all night with spears, our great army of hundreds of people scattered throughout the North China region, and the 30 million revolutionary masses of Gukmae will rise up upon hearing the news and resolutely destroy the iron walls of the Japanese and fulfill their sacred and pure calling. Unification Movement: The 38th parallel as a latitude will exist forever, but the 38th parallel as a borderline for foreign armies heading for the fatherland cannot exist even for a moment. Because of the 38th parallel, we have no unification and independence, no independence and democracy. And that's not all, there is starvation among the masses, separation of families, and even fratricide among compatriots. Statement of arrival in Pyongyang on April 21, 1948. The Great Teacher of the People, Baekbeom Kim Gu Baekbeom Kim Gu is a leader of the nation and a great teacher of the people who devoted his entire life to the independence, independence, and peaceful unification of the fatherland. Office Worker: (There is no wrong thinking) There should be no wrong thoughts in the work of love for the country, love, and people that takes off for the complete independence and independent and peaceful unification of the fatherland. We remember the patriotic martyrs and martyrs of the Republic of Korea. The Republic of Korea is neither a colony nor a vassal of any country. We are the people of the Republic of Korea and live in the Republic of Korea. #Seoul #Gyeonggyojang #Domestic travel #Seoul travel #Winter travel #Outdoor date #December travel subsidy event
