[4K] Walk to the old town of Seoul city : Insa-dong and Jongno district

[ About ]
On a bright day, I walked across Jongro to Insadong. In the center of Seoul, the old city center remains everywhere, adding to the charm. You can feel the vigor of young people, but I think that one of the strengths of Seoul is that not all of them are all. We would appreciate it if you enjoyed watching the 15-minute time when the old and the modern look coexist in harmony. 🙂

모처럼 밝은 날 저는 종로에서 인사동 일대까지 가로 질러 걸어보았습니다. 서울 중심부는 예전 구도심의 모습이 곳곳에 남아있어 또 다른 매력을 더합니다. 젊은이들의 활기도 느낄 수 있지만 그런 모습들이 전부가 아닌 것이 서울의 장점 중 하나라고 생각합니다. 예전의 모습과 현대의 모습이 조화롭게 서로 공존하고 있는 15분의 시간을 즐겁게 시청해주시면 감사하겠습니다. 🙂

Jongno District has been the center of the city for 600 years, since it is where the Joseon dynasty established its capital city. Jongno District is commonly referred to as the face and heart of Korea because of its important roles in the politics, economics, culture, and history as the capital city.[2] Jongno District is home to palaces in which the kings used to reside and work, such as Gyeongbok Palace, Changdeok Palace, Changgyeonggung and Unhyeon Palace. The South Korean president’s current residence, the Cheongwadae, is also located in the Jongno District.[2]

With the historical value and cultural properties, Jongno District attracts visitors’ attention. These include the restored Cheonggyecheon stream, the traditional neighborhood of Insa-dong, and the Jongmyo shrine. Art Center Nabi and Gahoe Museum, a relics museum is also located in the district. A number of colleges and universities are located here; these include the main campuses of Sungkyunkwan University and Baehwa Women’s College.

The area is also home to the Gwanghwamun Plaza a public open space on Sejongno[3] and is part of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s plans for environmentally friendly renovation projects such as the Cheonggye Stream and Seoul Plaza.[4] It is also of historical significant as the location for royal administrative buildings and features statues of the Admiral Yi Sun-sin of Joseon Dynasty and King Sejong the Great of Joseon.[5]
