Dongnimmun Arch (Independence Gate)

Although I have heard many Koreans misunderstand it, it is not from Japan's independence, but to commemorate China's independence. Although the shape is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, it is smaller than expected, because in the park, you can walk through the gate.

Independent Gate Park Recommendation Index - "5 Stars'first stop today is Independent Gate Park, which is of great significance to Korea. The subway goes to the Independent Gate Station, and the park is easy to find. We entered from the middle, intending to go to the Criminal Museum first, and then take pictures at the independent entrance. The greening of the park is very good. Although the sun was very strong on the day I went, it was not difficult to find shade. A short walk along the main road is the Criminal Museum. The museum, formerly a prison, was used to imprison South Korean independence fighters during the Japanese aggression. I have long known the cruelty of Japanese militarism, but by visiting this museum, I have greatly deepened my impression that the overall atmosphere of the museum is very gloomy and terrible. Although the memories left by the museum are not good, Ximen Park as a whole is a very good place - "dense trees, fresh air, beautiful environment, most of them are parents-in-law on weekdays. It's a relaxing and comfortable scene to bask in the sun or do some slow sports (no square dancing, of course). At the end of the journey in the opposite direction is the independent door. The scenery around the Independence Gate is very beautiful. It's absolutely an excellent place for photographic friends. Look at the pictures. Interestingly, when I visited it, I always thought that the Independence Gate was built to commemorate Korea's defeat of Japanese ghosts and its national independence. However, when I came back to search for information, I found that was not the case. The predecessor of the Independence Gate was Ying'en Gate, which was originally built by the DPRK in response to the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Later, at the end of the 19th century, the Qing Dynasty was forced to abandon its patriarchal status to Korea because of its defeat in the Sino-Japanese War and the signing of the "Treaty of Maguan". In order to celebrate its departure from China's patriarchal rule, the Koreans changed Ying'en Gate into an independent gate and invited foreign architects to redesign and build it.

Расположенный на подъезде парка Сеодаемун, а также парк независимости Сеодаемун, он теперь стал местным достопримечательностью

Отпечаток Истории Отпечаток Независимости. Над ней находится тюрьма Сеодаемун, а рынок Йонгчхон на другой стороне улицы полный вкусных продуктов питания. К сожалению, из-за политики городского развития, жилые помещения, которые помогали семьям, которые были заключены в тюрьму Seodaemun, теперь есть квартиры.

The Independence Gate is a building located in the Independence Park of Seoul, South Korea. It was used to meet foreign envoys next to the Ying En Gate. Ying En Gate is the place where the king personally welcomes Chinese envoys. Since 1897, Russia has declared Korea's independence to Japan, which has long threatened China and South Korea. The cost of building an independent door is donated by the whole nation. Now there are only two pillars left in front of the Independent Gate, but it can still make one imagine what it was like at that time. The gate is 14.28 meters high and 11.48 meters wide. It is made of 1850 granite blocks. Reference is made to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. The door was moved to its present location in 1979, 70 metres northwest of its original location.
