Today we visit some place in Seoul. First destination is Gwanghwamun Square. Ride subway to Gwanghwamun Station then exit 2. The MRT Station interior is unique.
At Gwanghwamun Square, there's the biggest book store in Seoul, Kyubo Book Store. You can enter the shop from MRT exit or from outside.
There's Admiral Yi Sunsin statue and also famous King Sejong statue in here.
Under the square, there's a exhibition about King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sunsin.
After see the exhibitions, we decided to eat lunch first. We found some restaurant in the small road near the Gwanghwamun Square. Then we go to Gwanghwamun Gate which is the main and largest gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
