Railway station building, construction began in 1922 and was completed in 1925.
After restoration it is used as a comprehensive cultural space.
The building has great architectural value as it is the oldest railway station in Korea.
State Treasure No. 1 - the main (southern) gate of the fortress wall that surrounded Seoul (at present, the wall is not completely preserved; therefore, if you see the gate for the first time, you may not immediately understand its functional purpose).
Perhaps the only palace in Seoul that can rightly be called "imperial".
A blend of nature and urban design, this stream winds through downtown Seoul — though entirely man-made today.
Once a natural river, it was buried after the Korean War and revived in 2005 as a tranquil walkway.
Fountains, illuminated bridges, and the Palgakdam weir make it one of the city’s most beloved evening spots.
