Seoul - Gwanghwamun, Gyeongbokgung Palace

Gwanghwamun is a famous landmark in Seoul, South Korea. It is located at the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace and is a symbol of the capital of the Joseon Dynasty. Gwanghwamun was first built in 1395, meaning "shining the world and educating the people", reflecting the ruling philosophy of the Joseon Dynasty. Throughout history, Gwanghwamun has been destroyed and rebuilt many times due to wars and colonial rule. The existing Gwanghwamun was restored in 2010, following traditional architectural techniques to restore its original appearance. Gwanghwamun is not only a historical and cultural heritage, but also an important political and cultural place in modern Korea. Today, various cultural activities are held in Gwanghwamun Square in front of the gate. You can participate in the activities to get small gifts, there are also election rallies, and Hanbok displays and traditional dance performances that symbolize the history of the Korean people. This place is full of tourists from different countries and Korean citizens, attracting many visitors who come to explore Korean history and culture.
