Gwanghwamun Square Seoul Korea

This place has always been one of the places I want to visit in Seoul, due to the numerous variety shows and korean drama that constantly feature this iconic landmark representing of Seoul and even Korea. My first impression of this place is "New York City's Times Square minus the skyscrapers and buzzing crowd", because the plaza is situated in the middle of the avenue. It is really a beautiful scene, perfect for photos. 



The gate itself is magnificent, and inside it is a big open area where the change of guard ceremony is held. 



The gate and walls of this millennial temple are of rare beauty, but what is most striking are the mountains rising in the background, this image is like a postcard. 



The square itself is immense, all surrounded by important buildings and 2 prominent statutes, King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sunshin. The latter has a multi water fountain with kids splashing about. Great place for photo op.
