Myeongdong : Sightseeing places in Seoul





 Seoul has many attractions. Typically, there are Gyeongbokgung, Myeongdong, and Namsan towers. This time, I want to deal with the sights of Seoul. Historical places like Gyeongbokgung are classified separately, and here I try to focus on good places to visit.
 
1. Myeong-dong

 Myeong-dong is located in Jung-gu, Seoul. If you want to know the most famous places in Seoul, Myeong-dong is a typical sightseeing place. Myeong-dong is now Korea's cultural and financial center, has a variety of attractions, and has many banks. There are many things to eat, too. If you plan to visit Myeong-dong, I recommend you to prepare cash. Because it sells a variety of foods on the streets.
 Myeong-dong was also designated as a special tourist destination for foreign tourists. So, if you stand on Myeong-dong Street, you might get confused. Chinese and Japanese are spontaneously written on the doorsteps of shops located on the streets, and those who promote are promoted in Chinese and Japanese! Occasionally, some Korean tourists are caught by passengers who pass through Myeong-dong Street and promote in Japanese language. Nowadays, many tourists come from Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
 It is true that Myeong-dong is always crowded, but especially Christmas Eve is the place where the most people gather. Korean newspapers and media have also relayed many of these scenes to the news. So if you plan to visit Myeong-dong on Christmas Eve, I do not want to recommend it. It is because of being crowded to crowd.
 For reference, Myeong - dong has the largest cathedral in Korea, Myeongdong Cathedral. It is a historic site dating back over 110 years since it was built in 1898 and is designated as Historic Site No. 258. Since Catholic University conducted the entrance ceremony at the Myeongdong Cathedral, students visited the Myeongdong Cathedral. Then, after the entrance ceremony was over, I had go Myeong-dong street with my friends.
 To go to Myeong-dong, you can get off at Myeong-dong Station on Seoul Subway Line 4 or you can get off at Ulji-ro 3-ga Station on the Seoul Subway Line No. 2 line. If you want to go to Myeong-dong starting from Seoul Station, you can go to Seoul Subway Line 4 and cross two stations. If you want to go to Myeong-dong from Gimpo Airport, take the airport railway and get off at Seoul Station. There is a way to go to Myeong-dong by connecting to Line 4. It will take about 40 minutes.

 The food to eat today is Gamdong-Ran. Do you know what Gamdong-Ran is? Interestingly, it is an egg that tasted is so 'touched'. It is a type of egg that is sold in convenience store of Korea GS25, and the boiled egg itself is characterized by the salt liver. So it is easy to eat without salt. Also, it is more delicious to cook the egg so that the yolk does not become fully cooked when boiled. Today I am going to try the Gamdong-Ran.  As you can see in the picture, two eggs are packed in one pack. When you eat one, the other one eats soon. It's size is not large. One egg contains 50 grams, and one pack contains 100 grams. Let's look at the nutrients. It is one standard for reference.

Namsan Tower : Sightseeing places in Seoul

 Namsan Tower is one of the famous landmarks of Seoul with the Han River. The height of the tower itself is 236.7m, which is low compared to other landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Tokyo Tower.    It was completed on July 30, 1975. At first, there was no observation deck, but after that, a sightseeing observation deck was constructed and the present tower was completed. In the early days, it was not open to the public because of security problems, but on October 15, 1980, the observatory was opened. And it was reopened in 2005. From this time, the name will be changed to N Seoul Tower. I do not feel old because all the facilities have been modernized and the interiors have been careful while undergoing remodeling.    The tower is made up of seven floors and is quite large, and the top of the T7 floor is an observation tower with a slowly rotating floor. Namsan, where Namsan Tower is located, also has the remains of the Choson Dynasty. This is also a
