Summer of 2013 (Part 4)

Trip to Korea (Part 4)

4th Day

So, the 4th day we decided to go back to Seoul.

(Well, we kinda stayed in the outskirt of Seoul so more like move to the center of Seoul ^^)

We took the subway {Line 3 (Bundang-->Jon-lo 3ga) --> Line 1(Jon-lo 3ga-->Seoul Station)} and arrived at the first and biggest station of Korea, the Seoul Station!!

The one on the right is the original building of the station (currently used as a museum/gallery) and the one on the left is the one actually used currently. At the time there was a modern art gallery going on in the old building so we decided to check it out and the building while doing so. 

We decided to check out South Korea's #1relic, The Great Gate of the South Sung-Le-Moon.

It was a 5min walk from Seoul Station and there are trees along the way so no direct sunlight ^^.

There are shops (more like carts with small refrigerators) so getting thirsty shouldn't be a problem.
Sung-Le-Moon was burnt down by this idiot few years back, and they just reopened it not too long ago. They tried to recreate what it would've looked like in the past when it was first built so the colors are really vivid. Example being the ceiling and the gateway.

It was pretty awesome to see a building from over a 100 years ago (Although it went through refurbishment, the aura it gives out is pretty magnificent ^^)

One of the cool sights to go to in Seoul is the Hanok village. Hanoks are simply traditional houses in Korea made in the past. Whats cool about this village was that it's full of the houses of nobles. In other words, the houses have a reasonable big size and are elegant. Bottom line, it just looks really awesome!

Just some of my favorite sceneries of the place ^^

Our tour for the day was over by the time we finished going around the Hanok Village, so we went to get a bite and came home by 10:00.


Twas a historical day ^^
