 Cheonggyecheon is a river with a total length of 10.84km and a basin area of 59.83 ㎢ . All the water in Seoul is gathered here and flows to the east, and then flows together with the Jungrangcheon to the west to change into the Han River. Also, there are many shops selling antique books and antiques in the Cheonggyecheon area.    There are a lot of aquariums, the birds shop are mixed in between the aquariums, and there are a lot of pet stores selling other hamsters, insects and reptiles. (There are many bird shop next to the aquarium.) Not only crocodiles and turtles, but also animals that can be raised only by smuggling is illegal to import into the country.    The Cheonggyecheon was originally covered with roads. There were many problems, and there was a risk of collapse. As a result, the Seoul Metropolitan Mayor took 380 billion won on July 1, 2003, and started the demolition of the Cheonggye Elevated Highway. From the Gwanghwamun...

 On the Internet, I saw an article about recruiting Nikon Photo Challenger.( http://www.nikon-image.co.kr/event/ing/view/359 )  It was an article that recruited people to take pictures anywhere, for example, Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, Gyeongsang, and Jeju Island. I also liked taking pictures, so I had taken a lot of pictures. In order to support Nikon Photo Challenger, I need to upload some nice photos of myself. So I try to put some nice pictures out of the pictures I took!  All photos were taken with Nikon's D5300 model. I have been using the D5300 model for two years now. At first I did not know the camera at all, but as I studied a little with the D5300, now I really liked taking pictures. I can now say that photography is my hobby. Below are the pictures I learned with the D5300.    First, it is a night view photo taken in Ulsan. Ulsan Bridge can be seen at the back of the photo. It is very memorable because it is the ...

         Lotte World is a theme park located in Jamsil, Seoul. It opened in 1989. It is the largest indoor theme park in the world and is large enough to be named in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1995. Thanks to its geographical advantages and the chaebol power of the Lotte Group, which is conveniently located in Seoul, it is a top class in the domestic theme park industry. In addition, Lotte World Amusement Park is surrounded by hotels, department stores, duty-free shops and shopping malls.    Lotte World has a variety of rides such as a roller coaster and a viking, and there are many spectacular parades every time.

For reference, those who do not have Korean nationality should cut off "free pass for foreigners". Foreigners, of course, ...

 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 ...

 The Mapodaegyo(Mapo Grand Bridge) is a 10-lane round-trip bridge that links the Yonggang-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, and Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, with a length of 1,390m and a width of 45.5m. Mapo Bridge is the fourth bridge in the Han River. The construction started in February 1968 and was completed in May 1970. It was promoted as a core project of the Han River development plan that started in 1968 and became a stepping-stone for leaping Yoido in the wasteland to ‘Manhattan in Seoul’.    It was called 'Seoul Bridge' at the time of completion and changed its name to Mapo Bridge in 1984. In the 1990s, the lack of traffic on the 6th lane led to serious traffic congestion and serious deterioration. In order to solve this problem, a large-scale repair and renovation work was carried out in December 1996. The new bridge with a width of 22.75 m was completed and extended to the bridge of the 6-lane roundabout. It was opened in July 2000 and the existing b...

4. Gwanghwamun Square    Gwanghwamun Square is the easiest place to come up with 'Seoul'. As such, Gwanghwamun Square has a big meaning in Seoul and is a place many people remember. In addition, news and media show the appearance of Gwanghwamun Square when dealing with the story of Seoul. As such, Gwanghwamun Square is a famous place in Seoul.  Gwanghwamun Square starts from Sajikro in front of Gwanghwamun, and extends to Sejongdaero by two sides. It ends at the intersection of Sejongdaero where Moonanro and Jongno meet. The construction started in May 2008 and the Sejongdaero blocked some lanes and entered the construction and was opened to the public on August 1, 2009. It is one of the most important venues of Seoul, with Seoul Station Square, Seoul Square and Cheonggye Square. So, it was actually the main stage of the denunciation rally related to President Park Geun-hye, which was held in October 2016. More than one million citizens gathered every Saturda...

3. Noryangjin    Noryangjin, as its name suggests, was the main point of transportation for ships that used to come from Chemulpo. So, there is now ‘Noryangjin fish market’ in Noryangjin. Today we will look at Noryangjin. But the fish market is not the only thing to see in Noryangjin. The reason why Noryangjin is so famous is that there are many private educational institutes. Let's look at two aspects of Noryangjin.   (1) The Noryangjin fish market  The Noryangjin fish market is the largest wholesale market for seafood in Seoul. It mainly handles seafood and seafood imported from various places. In some stores, you can also eat seafood such as sashimi and sushi directly. If you like aquatic products, it would be nice to go around there.   (2) Noryangjin private educational institutes street  The reason why Noryangjin is so famous is because of the Noryangjin private educational institutes street. This is where you can prepare for...

2. Hongdae-Geori (Hongdae Street)    The second sightseeing place is Hongdae Street. Hongdae Street is the street near Hongik Daehakkyo(Hongik University), literally the street near Hongik Daehakkyo. It is a place where the arts such as art and music have developed from ancient times. Even if you visit Hongdae street these days, you can see many busking teams. There are many clubs and famous brand stores. In fact, Hongdae street can be said that hipster culture has developed in Korea. Mostly students in their 10th to 20th year play a lot in Hongdae.  Hongdae street is especially poisoned on Friday and Saturday night. If you go without thinking, you get caught up in the crowd. So if a person wants to go in a small time zone, I would recommend going in the daytime.  If you make a promise to meet in Hongdae street, you do not have to worry about where to meet. Because there are road points all over Hongdae street. Hongik Univ. Station, Hongik University f...

 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 promot...
