Palace a short walk from Seoul station and close to Namdaemun market. Very pretty and a quick visit. Stop by the patch shop on the main road.

Sungnyemun also know as Namdaemun is one of eight gates from old city wall which in old days surrounded Seoul. Also designated as first national treasure of South Korea. Check opening hours!

It’s wrapped by buildings on any side and sits in a roundabout, which unfortunately makes the view not that impactful. It’s a short walk from Seoul Station so it’s worth the visit if you have time.

One of the eight gates to old city, located on walking distance from the Myeongdong and Seoul station. Nice view in the evening

Can't just eat & shop!! Sightseeing is awesome too. Bit of culture. This 600+ yrs old gate was once burnt down in 2008. 1st time I saw it in 2010, it was being rebuilt.

南大門ソウルの高層ビルが建つ中にポッとこういうのがいきなりあるから面白い。そして南大門付近の市場で靴下12足で12,000ウォンで購入。流石に12足も要らないので一緒に行った友人と6足ずつ購入。スーパーコピーあるよ？と日本語で声をかけられるのに苦笑。何で日本人ってわかるんだろ？w

Интересно посмотреть на старинные ворота, которым больше 600 лет посередине современного мегаполиса. Весьма необычно.
