It is a local river that originates from Gwanaksan Mountain and Cheonggyesan Mountain and extends to Tancheon Stream. In 1995, it was restored as an exemplary natural ecological river through the Yangjaecheon Park Project, and in 2015, it was selected as a future heritage of Seoul. The section passing through Gangnam-gu is about 3.75km. The scenery along the waterway is famous for its beauty throughout the four seasons. Cherry blossom roads, Metasequoire roads, and streets of fallen leaves are colored with flowers and trees every season, attracting not only residents but also outsiders. In addition, there are observatory, landscape lighting, fog fountain, and media sapphire, so it is in the spotlight as a well-being place that covers walking, riding, ecological experience, and rest.

3. City Airport Terminal

Founded in 1980 and launched in 1990, CALT was established to reduce passenger waiting time at the airport and provide convenience by handling both entry and exit procedures in the city center, and passengers move to the airport by limousine and board the plane immediately. In the case of the trade center, it is located in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea, where all related institutions reside, not just performing ticketing-related tasks. In addition to airlines from each country, the Ministry of Justice's immigration office, the city airport military affairs report office, and the Incheon International Airport customs report office are located, so the so-called one-stop service is possible. Passengers who have completed all the procedures can board the limousine bus through the dedicated passageway, go to the airport and board the aircraft immediately. There was a passport division of Gangnam-gu Office, but the office was withdrawn as of December 10, 2007.

4. Bongeunsa Temple

According to the policy of drastically reducing Buddhist temples during the Joseon Dynasty, the number of state-recognized temples decreased to 242 during the reign of King Taejong in 1406, and only 36 temples were selected from 18 temples of Yangjong in the country in 1424. When Joseon's missionary breeding system was implemented, the central temples in Seoul were Heungcheonsa Temple at Seonjongsa Temple and Heungdeoksa Temple at Gyojongsa Temple, but Heungcheonsa Temple and Heungdeoksa Temple were abolished during Yeonsan-gun and the missionary breeding system collapsed. Since the reign of King Jungjong, Bongeunsa Temple has been recognized as a central temple, and it can be assumed that Bongeunsa Temple was abolished and Heungdeoksa Temple was raised instead of Heungcheonsa Temple and Heungdeoksa Temple. Bongeunsa Temple emerged as a national investigative temple because of Queen Munjeong and Bous' activities during King Myeongjong's reign, and the policy to demolish all temples was pushed forward during King Jungjong's reign, but the status of Bongeunsa Temple could be confirmed in an appeal that claims it is meaningless to eradicate monks.

Bongeunsa Station on Subway Line 9

5. Seonjeongneung Royal Tomb

Inside Samneung Park, which is located like an oasis in the forest of buildings, there is Seonneung Royal Tomb where King Seongjong, the 9th king of the Joseon Dynasty, and Queen Jeonghyeon slept together, and Jeongneung Tomb, where Jungjong, the 11th king, is buried, is called Seonjeongneung Royal Tomb. Jeongneung Royal Tomb of King Jungjong, which was buried in Wondang-ri, Wondang-eup, Goyang-gun, Gyeonggi-do, was moved to this place due to poor feng shui geography. Queen Munjeong, who wanted to be buried with King Jungjong, is also buried alone in Taeseong because this place was flooded every summer. It is Historic Site No. 199 and was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on June 30, 2009.(Paid)  7 minutes walk from Exit 10 of Seolleung Station on Bundang Line 2  16 minutes walk from Exit 3 of Seonjeongneung Station on Bundang Line

9. Shopping centers around Gangnam Station and underground shopping malls

It is located at the intersection of Gangnam-daero and Seocho-daero Teheran-ro. A large-scale office office district, led by IT companies, began to be built here in the 1990s, and as hagwon and entertainment districts entered one after another, a floating population beyond imagination was created. Typically, from Exit 10 and 11 to Sinnonhyeon Station, there is a busy street where large academies, clothing stores, hospitals, bars, and restaurants are densely concentrated. In addition, the floating population here seems to have increased further as the entertainment district near Seolleung Station and the effect of Starfield COEX Mall, which had been stagnant for a while since remodeling in the mid-2010s. On weekends, people who go to the ground at each exit and those who go down to take the subway are intertwined to create chaos. On Friday nights, you can often see Gangnam-daero clogging up from 1 to 2 a.m. However, prices are quite high as downtown + office district. Along with Hongdae and Itaewon, there are many famous clubs in Seoul.

Located in the center of Gangnam, the underground shopping center has numerous clothing stores and accessories, and you can shop in a pleasant environment. In addition, Herb Plaza provides customers with a comfortable rest area.

Mongchontoseong Fortress, which was discovered during the construction of the Olympic Park, was built around the 4th century and is located between the Han River in the north and Namhansanseong Fortress in the south. In the early Baekje period, it was used as a fortress that defended the current Seoul area, and traces of soil accumulation remain in the east. In Mongchontoseong Fortress, a hut site, a jar tomb, weapons, fishing needles, Baekje earthenware, and stone mortar were excavated. Currently, a pine forest is located on the slope of Mongchontoseong Fortress, creating a green landscape throughout the year. It was designated as Historic Site No. 297 on July 22, 1982. The circumference is about 2.7km, and the height is 6-7m. It was built in the early third century. Two excavation surveys in 1984 and 1985 revealed that it was a wooden structure and a special Saturn structure with a Saturn defense moat.

To withstand this load, Lotte World Tower dug the site to a depth of 38m underground and installed 108 files with a length of 30m and a diameter of 1m on the granite bedrock layer. And on top of that, the nation's largest and world-class foundation mat (MAT) construction with a length of 72m left and right and 6.5m thick was carried out.The base mat, made by pouring 80,000 tons of high-strength concrete over 32 hours by 5,300 ready-mixed concrete, is 80 percent of the size of a soccer field, 1.8 times thicker than Dubai's Burj Khalifa and 2.5 times more concrete.

Concrete, which can build about 5,500 84 square meters of apartments, has been put into the total construction. While high-rise buildings cannot withstand the high heat caused by the fire and collapse of steel frames or rebars, Lotte World Tower used high refractory concrete that lasts at least three hours in case of fire.

5. Seokchon Lake

Until the 1960s, Seokchon Lake was part of the Songpa River where water flows. Songpajin (Songpa Naru), which connects Songpa and Gangbuk to Japanese colonial era, was also located in Seokchon Lake. This is why Seokchon Lake is called Songpa Naru Park. It was unbelievable that a large ferry like Songpajin was located in Seokchon Lake, not even along the Han River, so Jamsil became a perfect sea.Originally, the Han River had two streams of water, the main stream was the Songpa River passing through the current Seokchon Lake, and the tributary was the Sincheongang River, which became the main stream of the current Han River. Songpajin was a ferry that was built along the Songpa River, which was the main stream of the Han River. The site of the former Songpajin is currently the site of Song Ho-jeong.Recently, the "Rubber Duck," the original form of a large public exhibition, has returned, and there is a craze for proof shots around the MZ generation (Rubber Duck is a yellow rubber duck doll made by Dutch author Florentine Hoffman)

Exit 2 of Subway Line 2   Exit 7 of Subway Line 8  3 minutes walk from Seokchon Station on Subway Line 9

The third day

1. Gwanghwamun Square

Even after Gwanghwamun Gate was destroyed by fire during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, the road in front of Gwanghwamun was Yukjo Street, and it was a central government office area where Gwol Oegaksa Temple were gathered. Gwanghwamun Gate was restored when King Gojong rebuilt Gyeongbokgung Palace, but after the forced annexation of Korea and Japan in 1910, the Joseon Governor-General was established in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and it was forcibly relocated to the east of Gyeongbokgung Palace. During the Third Republic, Gwanghwamun Gate was rebuilt with concrete and controversy over its location and construction materials continued, but it was properly restored to its original location in 2008. Although the loss and restoration of Gwanghwamun have been repeated several times, the road in front of Gwanghwamun is still the central space of Korea, and is used as a symbol of democracy and a space of harmony through various modern and contemporary history.

Along with the restoration of Gwanghwamun, the road in front of Gwanghwamun in 2009 was first shaped like a square to suit the meaning and function of the place.

2. Sejong Cultural Center, Sejong Story The story of Chungmugong

Sejong Center for the Performing Arts has maintained its reputation as a living history of Korean performing arts, a space of memories for art lovers, and a cultural and artistic institution representing Korea for more than 20 years. Since then, the Sejong Center has reorganized its hardware, including Sejong Chamber Hall, Sejong M Theater, Art Building Expansion, Sejong Art Museum, and Sejong S Theater, and has played a role as a cultural and artistic hub of Seoul through various cultural events such as accompanying art.The Sejong Center for the Performing Arts is creating an art landmark where citizens are happier with the aim of expanding opportunities for cultural enjoyment and contributing to the realization of civic culture and welfare by operating culture and arts that can contribute to cultural development.

3. National Palace Museum

It is located in the east of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and about 40,000 artifacts related to royal clothing and life during the Joseon Dynasty are collected and displayed. It is a museum that specializes in collecting and exhibiting palace relics from the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire.

4. Gyeongbokgung Palace

In the poem, "I am already drunk and full thanks to you, so I ask you to memorize the poem, "The prince will serve your great blessings forever," and name the new palace Gyeongbokgung Palace, so your highness and descendants will enjoy the peace of life and feel the way.Originally, it was built in a plain and frugal form without fancy decorations compared to the previous dynasties, reflecting the Confucian ideology of "Gumbulu Huayibulchi" (sparse, but not extravagant). The arrangement was in the form of Sammun Samjo according to the Confucian perspective.During the early Joseon Dynasty before the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, it played an important role as a royal palace for the Joseon Dynasty. Gyeongbokgung Palace was designed with strict geometrical space division, the arrangement of buildings on a straight axis, and a neat symmetrical structure to show its authority as a Buddhist palace.The palace was established with Changdeokgung Palace (+Changgyeonggung Palace), and the kings used the two palaces alternately according to their tastes.Since it was destroyed during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, only the site has been banned from entering and cannot be rebuilt for 200 years, but Heungseon Daewongun rebuilt it and has been handed down to this day. For reference, Gyeongbokgung Palace built by Heungseon Daewongun and Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was destroyed during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, are somewhat different.Records of multi-story buildings stand out, such as Sejong's illness while sleeping on the second floor when he was a prince. In addition, there are differences such as mentioning that Cheonggwa was placed on Geunjeongjeon Hall, and you can guess the appearance of Gyeongbokgung Palace at that time through the architectural style depicted in the Buddha's birthplace, which was produced by the Joseon royal family before the Imjin War. Above all, unlike the previous building, which gradually expanded to a maximum size of 5,000 bays, Heungseon Daewongun rebuilt it with 7,400 bays at once. It quickly became 1.5 times the size.The current administrative district is located in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The nearest subway station is Gyeongbokgung Palace Station, and if you go out from Exit 5, you can enter Gwanghwamun, the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace. And you can walk from Anguk Station or Gwanghwamun Station. There are various government offices on the road in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, so it was called Yukjo Street, and this road is Sejong-daero today.It is said that Yukjo Street was built almost the same width as the current Sejong-daero because it was the central street of the country even at that time. Currently, there is Gwanghwamun Square in the center of Sejong-daero. There are Cheong Wa Dae, the Constitutional Court, the Seoul Government Complex, the American Embassy in Korea, and the Sejong Center for Cultural Affairs, and Insadong Street is also close to Gyeongbokgung Palace.

5. National Folk Museum

The National Folk Museum of Korea is trying to secure daily life materials that are rapidly disappearing due to changes in lifestyle. Data collected in various ways, such as purchase, donation, and donation, are scientifically preserved and then systematically organized according to the criteria for classification of folk materials. Various research and research activities secure photographs, films, and video materials from the folk scene. In addition, books specializing in folklore studies and various multimedia folk materials are systematically organized and accumulated in folk archives so that users can easily use them.

6. National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art

It was built as a complex cultural space including eight exhibition halls, educational facilities, and book archives with three basement floors and three ground floors.It is functionally located in the city center, and aims for a daily art museum and a viewer-centered modern art museum centered on installation art. Architecturally, it can be divided into exhibition areas, education areas, and office areas, and it is divided into seven dongs along with existing ruins such as Jongchinbu and Gugimusa, and is distributed around the yards. The exterior was divided into a harmonious form with the surrounding Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon, and terracotta tiles were used as the main material.

7. Changdeokgung Palace

King Taejo built Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1394 (the 3rd year of King Taejo's founding) in Hanyang, but King Jeongjong, who ascended to the throne after the First Prince's Rebellion, moved the capital back to Gaegyeong, the former Goryeo capital, in 1399 (the 1st year of King Jeongjong's reign). However, King Taejong, who succeeded King Jeongjong, decided Jaecheondo Island to Hanyang. As a preliminary work for Jaecheondo Island, King Taejong ordered the construction of Yigung in Hyanggyo-dong, and began construction in 1404 (the 4th year of King Taejong's reign) and completed it in 1405 (the 5th year of King Taejong's reign). The palace is Changdeokgung Palace. However, there is already Gyeongbokgung Palace in Hanyang, and the construction of a new palace meant that King Taejong did not want to stay at Gyeongbokgung Palace. In the Joseon Dynasty, kings often lived alternately between the two palaces of the Yanggung system.Just before the completion of Changdeokgung Palace, King Taejong left Gaegyeong and led to Changdeokgung Palace, not Gyeongbokgung Palace, on the way to Hanyang.Since returning to Hanyang in 1405 (the 5th year of King Taejong's reign), King Taejong lived mainly in Changdeokgung Palace until he abdicated to his son King Sejong in 1418 (18th year of King Taejong's reign). Taejong avoided Gyeongbokgung Palace, perhaps because it was the place where he caused a bloodbath. However, large national important events were mainly held at Geunjeongjeon Hall and Gyeonghoeru Pavilion of Gyeongbokgung Palace.At the time of its foundation in 1405 (5th year of King Taejong's reign), Changdeokgung Palace had 74 bays in outer space and 118 bays in inner space. The basic functions to function as a palace were all in place, but the expansion of Changdeokgung Palace continued even after the completion. In 1412 (the 12th year of King Taejong's reign), Donhwamun Gate, the main gate, was built. Go straight 300 meters from Exit 3 of Anguk Station on Subway Line 3

8.Changgyeonggung Palace

Changgyeonggung Palace is the third palace built in the Joseon Dynasty after Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace. Since the early days of the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeongbokgung Palace has been used as a legal palace and Changdeokgung Palace as an auxiliary palace. However, kings of the past preferred to live in Changdeokgung Palace rather than Gyeongbokgung Palace, and as the number of royal families increased, the living space of Changdeokgung Palace gradually became cramped. In response, Changgyeonggung Palace is a palace in the neighborhood of Changdeokgung Palace so that the three royal elders, Queen Sejo, Queen Sejo, Queen Ansun, and Queen Deokjong, can live comfortably.770m from Exit 4 of Hyehwa Station on Subway Line 4

9. Unhyeon Palace

Unhyeongung Palace, where King Gojong lived until the age of 12, was popular with folk songs saying that there was a royal flag in Unhyeongung Palace, the site of the old coronal during King Cheoljong's reign, and Daewongun expanded the site of Unhyeongung Palace again after King Gojong's ascension. Unhyeon is the name of the pass in front of Seoungwan, which was in charge of weather observation, and Unhyeon is the abbreviation of Seoungwan. After King Gojong took the throne, it was called Unhyeongung Palace because of the precedent of the main palace and the place name Unhyeon after the house he lived before becoming king. (Admission fee: Free Monday: Closed)

Exit 4 of Anguk Station on Line 3

10. Bukchon Hanok Village

Bukchon is a noble-class residential area created during the Joseon Dynasty, and changes took place in the 1930s as the administrative district of Seoul was expanded and the urban structure was modernized. Housing management companies purchased large lots and forests in Bukchon and built small and medium-sized hanoks on the site. Hanok dwellings at Gahoe-dong 11, 31, Samcheong-dong 35, and Gye-dong 135 were all formed during this period It can be noted that the hanok in Bukchon, which used new materials such as glass doors in Daecheong and Hamseok brim attached to the eaves, has evolved into a new urban housing type by adapting to the modern urban organization without losing the tangible characteristics of traditional hanok. Since hanok in Bukchon had to be built in large quantities, standardized wood supplied from lumberyards was efficiently used, and while maintaining the characteristics of traditional hanok as a whole, it was settled as a new urban housing type. The characteristics of Bukchon Hanok can be defined in two ways: the greatly evolved old method and the tendency to decorate. Although it was not completely elegant when it was worshiped with traditional hanoks, such as low roof mulmae, Guldori, double eaves, and many kansu in narrow daytime, Bukchon Hanok has condensed the composition and beauty of hanok. Bukchon Hanok Village has been established as a new urban housing type, reflecting the demand as an urban housing for density and anonymity, as seen in the Hanok sales advertisement at the time.

Exit 2 of Anguk Station on Subway Line 3

11. Insadong

Insa-dong, located in the center of Seoul, became the current name of the Joseon Dynasty by taking the history of In-dae-dong of the Hanseongbu Gwaninbang. In the early Joseon Dynasty, the site of Dohwaseo began to be located here, and it naturally became the center of art activities. Since then, antique and antique shops began to be built in the 1930s, and in the 1980s, studio, antique furniture stores, and folk crafts stores were created, making its reputation as a traditional cultural street more solid. Now, traditional stores, tea houses, and modern buildings coexist in the past and present, and historical traces remain everywhere, so you can find another aspect of Insa-dong. Exit 6 of Anguk Station on Subway Line 3. Turn left at the crossroads

12. Jongmyo Shrine

It is one of the most refined and majestic structures in the Joseon Dynasty as a shrine dedicated to the kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty and to the honored kings and queens. Construction of the Jongmyo Shrine began in December of the year when the Joseon Dynasty moved its capital to Hanyang in the 3rd year of King Taejo's reign and was completed in September the following year, and soon after, King Taejo's 4th generation, King Taejo, King Ikjo, Dojo, and Hwanjo, were enshrined from Kaesong. Currently, 49th place in the temple hall and 34th place in the 16th room are enshrined in Yeongnyeongjeon Hall, and 83rd place of the kings in the temple hall are enshrined in the Gongsindang in front of the temple hall.  Exit 8.11 of Jongno 3-ga Station on Subway Line 1.3.5 is 200m.

Deoksugung Palace begins with the fact that when the ancestors who fled to Uiju returned to Hanyang in 1592 when the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, the Wolsan Grand Prince's mansion and the surrounding private houses were combined as Haenggung Palace. After Gwanghae-gun took the throne and moved to Changdeokgung Palace, using the name Gyeongungung Palace. Deoksugung Palace, which looks like a palace, was reduced in size due to human tree ruins and artificial opposition, and especially after King Injo took office, the rest of the palace was returned to its original owners, so Deoksugung Palace no longer functioned as a palace where the king stayed and did state affairs.After Gojong, who felt threatened by the Eulmi Incident in 1895, moved to the Russian legation, he returned to Deoksugung Palace in February 1897, and declared his national name as the Korean Empire, and became a royal palace. However, after the Great Fire of Deoksugung Palace in 1904 and King Gojong's forced abdication in 1907, Deoksugung Palace was greatly reduced in size and its name was also changed from Gyeongung Palace to Deoksugung Palace.Deoksugung Palace's stone wall road and traditional garden are healing places in the city, giving peace to travelers who like to take a walk.
