It's easy to pass through nowadays, but when I watch Korean historical dramas, I think it must have been difficult to get through this gate in the old days... There was a fire in 2008, and I wondered what would happen at the time, but it has now been rebuilt and is back to how it was back then. It's free to enter. You can walk there from Seoul Station and Namdaemun Market, so it's a great place for a stroll on a nice day👍

National Treasure No. 1, Sungnyemun, located in the heart of Seoul! It is a place where you can see the beauty of traditional Korean architecture up close. The night view is especially beautiful, so it is even more charming when you visit at night. There is also Namdaemun Market nearby, so you can enjoy traditional food. It was a special time to stop for a moment and feel our history even in the middle of a busy city. #Sungnyemun #SeoulHistoricalTour #NationalTreasureNo. 1 #SeoulHotPlace #KoreanTraditionalBuilding #NightViewSpot #SeoulWalk #CityTravel #NamdaemunMarket #SeoulAttractions #JanuaryTravelSupportEvent

#0yentravelFebruary2025 In the morning, we took a bus up to Namsan Tower, enjoyed the beautiful view overlooking Seoul, and then took a leisurely walk down the autumn-covered Namsan mountain. After that, we went to the noodle street in Namdaemun Market. I had thought about taking a look at all the shops, but after passing through the plastic?, at the first shop, someone called out to me in Japanese, "Wife, wife, please come over here!" I thought, "What, you mean my wife?" and we had noodle soup there and then. Korea is so fun! The noodle soup was also really delicious! After that, we walked along Seoullo 7017 to Seoul Station. We had a great time!

It is a short walk from Sungnyemun to Deoksugung Palace.

This is the location where BTS was filmed when they appeared at Global Citizen LIVE, an event organized by Global Citizen, an international social movement organization to eradicate poverty. They performed "Permission to Dance" and "butter" in front of Sungnyemun Gate. Nearby are Namdaemun Market and Seoul City Hall with its SEOUL logo. It's also close to Myeongdong, making it an easy place to visit for sightseeing. #TravelingSoloInKorea #BTSHolyLand #0YenTripJanuary2025 ⭐️Sungnyemun⭐️ 📍Location: 29 Namdaemun-ro 4-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul [Road Name Address] 40 Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul 40 Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul

#2025Overseas Travel Event An activity worth participating in while sightseeing in Seoul is the Hanyang Doseong Stamp. This activity involves going to the four gates of Seoul and stamping them. They are Namdaemun, Dongdaemun, Seodaemun, and Bukdaemun (Sukjeongmun). You can tour them on foot or by public transportation. Address - 40 Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul (Namdaemun)

Sungnyemun (Namdaemun) is one of the gates in the city walls that surrounded Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty, and is a very beautiful and impressive gate. It stands in the middle of an intersection where major roads in the center of Seoul converge, and I thought it was a very symbolic place in Seoul. It was burned down in an arson attack in 2008, but it took about five years to restore. It is lit up at night and is very beautiful. It is about a 7-minute walk from Seoul Station and is close to Namdaemun Market, so it's worth a visit!

Sungnyemun Gate was the first national treasure built in 1398 as one of the gates of the capital, boasting a history of over 600 years. 🇰🇷 In recent years, it has become famous as a sacred spot for army fans after the hugely popular BTS performed in front of Sungnyemun Gate. Sungnyemun Gate is known as the first national treasure of Korea, and is the oldest wooden building in Seoul that still exists. It is also called "Namdaemun" (South Gate) because it was the main gate on the south side of the capital in the past. You can pass under Sungnyemun Gate, which is about 10 times larger than you can imagine from a photo or a distance, and you can feel the traditional Korean architecture. During the day, bureaucrats dressed in traditional costumes like those in Korean historical dramas perform. There are many bureaucrats, so it is a very powerful performance. The red and yellow hanbok and Sungnyemun Gate make you feel like you've come to Korea! And at night, Sungnyemun is lit up. The Seoul cityscape, the illuminated cars, the night sky, and Sungnyemun Gate are a wonderful space where you can feel the traditions of Korea even in the city. Although it depends on the season, the illuminations are on until around 6pm. There are many restaurants and cafes nearby, so why not visit Sungnyemun Gate before 6pm and have dinner there! ? 📍Sungnyemun 29, Namdaemun-ro 4-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul #FreeTrip #0YenTrip #Korea #KoreaTrip #SungnyemunGate #Seoul #SeoulTrip #Overseas #OverseasTrip

#TravelWithMe #SoloTravel #Walk #TripToKorea #Seoul #2023 Since I've come to Wongudan, let's walk to Sungnyemun. When you think of Seoul, you think of Dongdaemun and Namdaemun. I'm sure I saw Namdaemun when I went to Seoul for the first time. I think this is also where the fire burned... It was a new Namdaemun that was different from the impression I had before. I wanted to go to Namdaemun Market, but I didn't have time this time, so I'll do it next time. I don't know when I'll be able to go again, but I have to try the famous vegetable hotteok 😋 Is there a guard ceremony to open the gates in the morning and close them in the afternoon? I heard there's also a shifting ceremony, so I'd like to check the times and visit again.

Last month I was traveling in Seoul and stayed near the city hall. During the day, I walked to the nearby Sungnyemun, which is Namdaemun. Sungnyemun is probably the largest of the four city gates in Seoul. It was rebuilt after a fire in 2008 and reopened in 2013. Sungnyemun retains the ancient Korean architectural style. I saw three guards in front of the gate that day, and some tourists also took photos with them in front of the city gate. Although Sungnyemun is only a city gate, the building is quite magnificent and is a national treasure of South Korea's historical buildings. It is also a good check-in spot and is worth a visit. Moreover, it is located in Jung-gu, Seoul, and there is also the famous Namdaemun Market nearby. The two attractions can be visited together, which is great!

Korea Korea Tourism I went to Korea for the first time There are many Korean spots in Korea, but this time I went to Sungnyemun (Sungnyemun) Namdaemun so I will share them ✅ Sungnyemun (Sungnyemun) Namdaemun ✅40 Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea Sungnyemun (Sungnyemun), built in 1398 during the Joseon Dynasty, seems to have served as the main gate of the castle surrounding Hanyang (now Seoul), the capital of Korea. It is also the oldest castle gate in Korea, and was designated "National Treasure No. 1" in 1962. It collapsed in an arson attack in February 2008. After five years and three months of restoration work, it was reopened to the public on May 4, 2013.

Namdaemun Market in Seoul, Korea The oldest market in Seoul with 600 years of history. Kitchenware, crafts, souvenirs, food, clothing, imported goods, etc. It is one of the two major shopping areas in Seoul along with the Dongdaemun area. Namdaemun Market is famous in Japan for its cheap children's clothes♡ Here is an introduction to a kalguksu restaurant in Kalguksu Street in Namdaemun Market. The inside of Kalguksu Street is very narrow, but the entrance is also very narrow and a little difficult to find lol I went in with a friend to the store on the right hand side of the entrance. Kalguksu, bibimbap, and small cold noodles for 7,000 won♡ It was very crowded with not only locals but also tourists. 📍Han Seo-gu ▶︎Address 42-1, Namdaemunsijang 4-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea ▶︎Nearest station 24m from Exit 5 of Hoehyeon Station on Line 4 #Korea tourism #Korea travel #Korea #overseas #overseas travel #Asia travel #Korea only #Korean food #Korean gourmet #Gourmet #Gourmet trip #Couple trip #Girls trip #trip2022 #Seoul #Namdaemun #Namdaemun Market #Kalguksu Street

I've always wanted to go to Kalguksu Alley, so I went there by myself! I love this atmosphere! The ajummas at the restaurants beckon you to come over, but if you're not a fan of scary things, it might not be for you>< Most of the customers were local ajummas!
