The entry is free and you can hike around the entire fortress. I like that there are descriptions on what each part was used for throughout history. This is a must-see when visiting Korea!

This museum should be on your list if you like to learn about history and culture. The museum has collections about traditional Korean culture throughout different historical times. It’s also near the Gyeongbokgung Palace.

If you are interested in military history then this is a place to visit. The outside has old military weapons and monuments. The inside is more of the story of war in Korea.

I didn’t expect it to surprise me, but it was actually very well designed. It’s not just empty rooms, but shows and illustrates what every room, every building represents during that active period. The place is also big. It shows what it was like before, and the struggle of Koreans for independence. It explains why Koreans are so patriotic and proud of their own independence. The location of the Xidaemun Criminal Justice Institute’s Historical Hall is good, just off the Dongnimun subway station. I took my teenage son here to see how he felt and saw the history of the Japanese occupation and the resistance that South Korea launched at that time. The day before, we both visited the Seoul History Museum, but the exhibits there were too abstract, and the visit to the Xidaemun Criminal Justice Institute History Museum made all history alive. Walking around this once held political prisoners really can learn and learn a lot about the past. The wish here is that more exhibits and information can be translated into English, and there are tributes from students, workers, pro-democracy activists, but they are also written in Korean, I really hope to translate into English so that we can understand.

There are Chinese interpreters, which are a little colder than other museums but also very exciting. Telling about the various uses of royal etiquette since ancient times, you can also see the epitome of the westernization of the modern Korean royal family. It will be more sensational to visit several palaces with an understanding of court life. The museum is free to visit and can be rented at the desk if you need a voice guide. The museum is located inside Gyeongboo Palace, close to the exit of the ticket office. There are a large number of exhibits in the museum, detailing the daily life of the past royal nobles. We spent an hour in it, still not enough, and wanted to stay longer.

European style architecture with the lecture hall as a representative building modern building is commonly known as the Grand Canyon ECC Park is a punch-in hot spot for many negatives. I recommend everyone to come here for a walk!
