💚Sungkyunkwan, wher

💚Sungkyunkwan, where the past, present, and future coexist💚 We visited Sungkyunkwan University located in Hyehwa-dong! The current Sungkyunkwan University is named after the past Sungkyunkwan, the best higher education institution in the late Goryeo Dynasty and Joseon Dynasty. As a school that carries on the tradition, the first thing you see when you enter the main gate is Myeongnyundang, where Confucian scholars studied in the past. Thinking about how hard students in the past must have studied, I felt a sense of connection with the East..ㅜㅜ🥲🥲 Myeongnyundang is an annex building of Sungkyunkwan, located right behind Daeseongjeon. The opening hours during the winter are 9:00-17:30, so if you want to visit, be sure to remember the time. I made two wasted attempts and was able to enter on the third try. ㅎㅎ There are two large trees between Myeongnyundang and Daeseongjeon. 🌳 Both trees are ginkgo trees, and they even have names. They are called 'Munmyo'. Those trees even have titles granted by the king. ㅋㅋㅋ The Confucian Shrine itself is a shrine dedicated to Confucius, so it is said that there is a Confucian Shrine in almost every place where people study Confucianism! 🍂🍁🍂🍁 If you go up through Daeseongjeon and Myeongnyundang, you can see the current appearance of Sungkyunkwan University. The first place you will see is the International Hall. The International Hall is most famous for its cats. Aren't the cats in the International Hall so cute? 🐱 If you come at night, be sure to visit the rooftop of the Law School. It is currently closed due to COVID-19, but if you go up to the rooftop of the Law School with a can of beer, the night view is really beautiful~ 🎆 I visited Sungkyunkwan University once because I missed my normal school life. I especially recommend it in the fall👍 #Sungkyunkwan #WinterTravel #GourmetExploration #SafeTravel #Christmas #YearEndTravel #WinterFood #WalkingInWinter #OnSnowyDays
