The signed entrance archway to Gyeongdong Market, with its busy alley beyond

Gyeongdong Market

It closes at 18:00 and most stores are shut on Sundays, so it suits a morning visit rather than an evening one. People come here for ginseng, medicinal herbs and ingredients more than for food.

Uireung’s T-shaped shrine from above, with the two burial mounds stacked one above the other on the hill behind

Uireung Royal Tomb

The former KCIA auditorium still stands inside the tomb walls. The July 4th North-South Joint Statement was announced in that building, so a Joseon royal tomb and twentieth-century political history share one precinct.

Naksan Park after dark: people walking and sitting along a lamplit paved promenade, the Hanyangdoseong city wall running low across the right of the frame, and the lights of north-eastern Seoul spreading out below with a dark ridge on the horizon.

Naksan Park

A park on the lowest of the four hills that ringed the old walled city. A stretch of the city wall runs along its ridge, and the centre of Seoul lies below it on the far side.

Heunginjimun Gate seen over its semicircular barbican: a loopholed brick parapet in front, the two-tiered pavilion rising behind it with the plaque reading 興仁之門 under the eaves, and pink azaleas flowering along the base of the wall.

Heunginjimun Gate

The eastern gate of the walled city, designated a Treasure in 1963. A crescent-shaped barbican wraps its outer face — the only one of the four main gates built with one.
