  2. The reason I chose this subject • To let people know about Korea • Try to learn some more things about Korea • Mr. Collonny suggested this

  3. Gyeongbokgung (palace) • Built at the beginning of the Chosun Dynasty when the Yi Dynasty moved the capital to Seoul • Gyeongbok means Shining Happiness • The main gate (Kwanghwa-mun) separates Gyeongbok Palace from one of the busiest areas of Seoul • Gyeongbok Palace was built in 1395 • destroyed during the Japanese invasion of 1592 and left in ruins for over 250 years. Starting in 1865, it was rebuilt

  4. Deoksugung (palace) • Right after the Korean-Japanese War, the king of the Joseon Dynasty settled temporarily in the Deoksugung. • In the late 19th century, King Gojong and his court went to the palace to avoid another Japanese invasion and it was established as the main royal palace again • Young people like to come here for dates and office workers try to take a rest • The changing ceremony of the royal guards takes place around the front gate.

  5. Namdaemun (great south gate) • Namdaemun is the one of the 4 main gates of the old city wall completed in 1398 • Chosen as national treasure #1 • Namdaemun market is near to it. It’s the one of the Korea’s largest and most popular markets. • Seoul station, Deoksugung and city hall is within walking distance.

  6. Dongdaemun (great east gate) • Originally called Heung-injimun ("Gate of Uplifting Mercy"), • Once served as the main eastern gate in the wall surrounding Seoul • First built in 1397, it was rebuilt in 1869 in its present form • There are many places for adult entertainment.

  7. Namsan (Seoul tower) • Viewable from almost anywhere in Seoul • Built on a 262-metre peak in Namsan Park, the tower reaches to 480 metres above sea level • When there is no weather problem and pollution, visiting the observation tower (370 metres above sea level) allows you to view the entire city and surrounding areas • The Cable cars go up to the top of the mountain and to the top of the tower

  8. Gyeongju Bulguk-sa Rebuilt • Originally built in 528. • Bulguk-sa provides an excellent example of architecture from the Shilla Dynasty • Meaning "Buddha Land," it remained intact for more than 1,000 years before the Japanese destroyed it in 1593 • Only a few of the buildings were rebuilt until the 1970s when it was completely reconstructed • It is a national treasure #1.
