1 Dongdaemun History & Culture Park
Design : Zaha Hadid & Samoo Architects & Engineers
Expected completion date : July 2012
Size : 85,320 sq.m of gross floor area (including underground Culture Square)
Major facilities : Dongdaemun History Museum, Dongdaemun Stadium Memorial
Museum, Relics Exhibition Halls 1 & 2, Event Hall, Design Gallery, Seoul Fortress.
Overview
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced in 2007 a plan to build the
Dongdaemun Design Plaza and a park on the site of the Dongdaemun Sports
Complex. What the officials had in mind at the time was a simple park, but they had
to change their plans soon after. A considerable number of cultural relics related to
Seouls history were recovered during the demolition of the old sports facility. Under
the supervision of architect Zaha Hadid, the designer of the DDP, the city decided tocreate a history and culture park.

The 142m-long walls surrounding Dongdaemun, one of the four main gates of the
capital of the Joseon Dynasty, were restored to their original shapes. The site of an
old military camp, discovered beneath old baseball and soccer fields, has also been
recovered. Some 1,000 retrieved artifacts, including white porcelains and pieces of
buncheong, are now on display at the newly built Dongdaemun History Museum. The
restoration process was captured in a 3D film that can be viewed at Dongdaemun
History Museum and Dongdaemun Stadium Memorial Museum.
The Dongdaemun Design Plaza is now under construction and will have four floors
above ground and three underground. The plaza will exclusively serve the fashion and
design industry and be equipped with all the major facilities, such as exhibition rooms
and educational and PR facilities. When it is completed in 2012, the Dongdaemun
area will be reborn as a landmark in Seoul, where history and the future co-exist.

2 Design Seoul Street in Samcheong-dong
Size : 1,600m in length, 15m in width
Project description : Based on residents opinions, a total of 89 signboards have
been installed or improved on the streets of Samcheong-dong, the embodiment of
a perfect marriage between tradition and modernity.
Overview
Design Streets
Based on its Design Seoul guidelines completed in December 2008, the Seoul
Metropolitan Government is redesigning the major streets of the city. The new street
designs are based on the concept of harmony and integrity. The streets in Seoul often
lack a sense of harmony since many street facilities, such as traffic signs and benches,
were built simply for their functionality and not in consideration of their surrounding
environments.
Under the improvement project, the city redesigned signboards, benches, street
lights, street signs and even sidewalks with an integrated design concept to better
harmonize them with their surroundings. The projects four main strategies are
to simplify, to adopt a consistent design, to reflect citizens ideas and to develop
sustainable design concepts.
A total of 18 streets in Seoul, including the districts around Cheonho-dong
intersection in southeastern Seoul and the Gangnam intersection in southern Seoul,
have been turned into Streets of Design. All of the shop signs and signboards and
various street facilities there were reorganized and redesigned under these new
design criteria.

Walking along the high walls of Gyeongbokgung with the National Folk Museum to
the north and the skyscrapers near Gwanghwamun to the rear, one may feel as if he
or she is looking for a hidden secret garden in the heart of a metropolitan city. Across
from the Gyeongbokgung walls, a street lined with art galleries is located. At the end
of the street is a three-way intersection, where Samcheong-dong starts. Following a
book caf at one corner, countless cafs and small galleries can be found along the
street. The myriad back alleys are dotted with shops selling beautiful craftwork and
fashion items.
Samcheong-dong
Samcheong-dongs charm lies in its clash of modern and traditional, and international
and Korean elements. Wine bars and pasta restaurants are often housed in traditional
Korean-style buildings, hanok, while the restaurants in modern western-styled
buildings sell traditional food. The narrow alleys behind the main street fill with jazz
tunes on a nightly basis.
Around the restaurants are many beverage shops, such as a tea house decorated
with pottery. There are also places for take-out coffee and other beverages. Located
in the heart of Seoul and still preserving its old elements, the area ironically has
become one of the most exotic places in the capital. During the weekend, the roads
in Samcheong-dong bustle with people busily clicking away on the camera to capture
the exotic and beautiful street scenes.

Overview
The Hangang
The Hangang, which flows across Seoul, is called the lifeline of the city. Some scholars
say that its name originates from the indigenous Korean word hangaram. Han
means big, wide or long and garam is an archaic word meaning river. Therefore,Hangang means the big and wide river. During the Joseon Dynasty, the river was also
called Gyeonggang. In some old foreign books, the river is called the Seoul River.
The Hangang, commonly called the Han River, is well-known to the world as a symbol
of Koreas fast economic growth in the 1970s. Korea achieved dramatic development
from the 1960s onwards when the nations first five-year economic development
plan was implemented. The growth transformed Korea from a country languishing in
the ashes of the Korean War (1950-53) to the worlds 13th largest economy. Foreignmedia described the economic development as the Miracle on the Hangang. The
phrase is still considered by many to describe Koreas "can-do" spirit and dynamic
image.
Hangang Renaissance Project
The Hangang Renaissance Project is centered on two themes: restoration and
creation. Under the project, 12 riverside parks are to be redeveloped with different
themes. As a part of the project, four parks - Banpo, Yeouido, Nanji and Ttukseom
- were completed in September 2009. Each of these parks was redeveloped under
the themes : culture, airport, environments and leisure. In just one year, after its
reopening, they have become popular refuges for rest and leisure. What is most
noticeable about the four parks is their water-friendly design.
The Hangang Renaissance Project is aimed at transforming Seoul into a riverside city
by developing its waterfronts. To this end, the urban spaces around the Hangang will
be restructured and accessibility to the river has been improved.

Yeouido Hangang Park was reopened in September, 2009,
after major renovation that took into account the regional
characteristic of Yeouido, a political, financial and media hub
of Seoul. The park has changed into a cultural space with
sophisticated waterfront facilities for global business activities.The park draws many foreign tourists and businessmen visiting
Yeauido as well as citizens.
1 Yeouido Hangang Park
Piano Waterway, which is a 1/100 miniature of the Hangang
River (41.5km), is 3m wide and 415m long. The creek is
supplied with water from underground that was formed
during the construction of a subway. The bottom of thewaterway is engraved with patterns symbolizing famous
attractions along the Hangang, allowing the visitors to take a
glimpse at the river at one place.
2 Piano Waterway
This waterway is gently sloped from the levees down to
waterfronts. Water is flowing down slowly and is shallow
enough for kids to play in. The dancing streams of a waterjetfountain and a floor fountain also please the eyes and ears of
visitors. The water running along the Piano Waterway travels
all the way to Water Light Plaza.
3 Water Light Plaza
This building that used to be the park management office has

This facility was created to commemorate the first Korean
pilot An Chang-nam and an old airport that used to be
located on the island. On Dec. 10, 1922, a local daily, Donga
Ilbo, sponsored the Grand Homecoming Flight show for
An. Before 50,000 spectators, he flew around Seoul onthe plane Geumgangho and presented an air show over
Yeouido. The walk connects Yeouido Park to the outside.
5 A Walk through the History of Yeouido Airport
Located between two bridges, Mapo-daegyo and Seogang-
daegyo, and facing the Hangang, this place was created
with soil and sand from a construction site in Yeouido
Hangang Park. With gentle-slope stands perfect for enjoying
performances, Festival Stand was a venue for streetcheering during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
6 Festival Stand
This is the world's first floating stage with rotating doors
that can open and close. With a 562 sq.m stage with 200
seats indoors and 2200 outdoors, it is a riverside stage of
performing arts in perfect harmony with the landscape in
the area. Designed by Yun Chang-gi and Zhang Xiaoyi, the
structures concept is the image of the bubble rising up fromthe water. It was made floating to remain safe from flood.
Fantastic shows are presented every day by various images
of bubbles illustrated through the LEDs and water fountains.
7 Floating Stage
Bamseom, a 273,503 sq.m islet, is a sanctuary for over
70 different species of migratory birds during winter.
Acknowledging the value of the place as a bird sanctuary,
the government designated Bamseom as an ecosystem
conservation region in 1999. The island is close to the public
and opens only for restricted occasions, to clean up after
flooding, or to feed migratory birds during winter. It was
named Bamseom because it looks like a chestnut, which is
bam in Korean.

This is the first bridge built across the Hangang, constructed
in 1900. The railroad bridge was destroyed during the Korea
War in order to stop the advance of North Korean soldiers.
Many of the bullet holes made during the war are still
found.
9 Hangangcheolgyo (Railroad Bridge)
This artificial island was built in 1917 from a sand dune in the middle
of the Hangang when a bridge was constructed over it. It was
called Jungjido at the time and renamed Nodeulseom in 1995.
Nodeul literally means a stone on which herons were treading,
which referred to the area around the present Noryangjin. It will be
developed to a landmark of Seoul with an art and culture complex
in 2014. A convention hall, a concert call, an opera house andother cultural facilities will be built there.
10 Nodeulseom (Island)
Floating Islands, inspired by the image of a flower blooming in
the Hangang, will be completed in 2011. There will be three
islands. The first island is the biggest and will be is a place for
performing arts. The second will be devoted to entertainment
and have a range of facilities for cultural experiences. The
third island will house facilities for water sports.
11 Floating Islands
This fountain, located on Banpo-daegyo (Bridge), is the longest bridge
fountain in the world. Installed on both sides of the 570m-long bridge,
it is 1,140m long in total and registered in the Guinness Book of World
Records. The 44 underwater pumps draw up over 60 tons of water
from the Hangang per minute to supply water to the fountain, which
has 380 nozzles. It was named Moonlight Rainbow Fountain since the
LED lights installed in it create a night rainbow at night. The dancingmovements of water are synchronized to music. It is run from April
to November. The fountain has become a popular location site for
dramas and films. The number of visitors of Banpo Hangang Park has
also increased by 50 percent thanks to the fountain.

Overview
Seoul has been the capital of Korea since 1394. Even before that, the city had served
as the capital of the Baekje Kingdom (B.C.18-660), one of the three kingdoms that
ruled Korea for about 600 years. With such a long history as the nations capital, Seoul
is full of historical sites and royal palaces. The palaces located in downtown Seoul alsoprovide Seoul citizens with havens from their busy city life.
One noticeable feature of the royal palaces is that they are all positioned in harmony
with nature. Streams were unaltered and left to flow through the palaces. These royal
residences still preserve the natural beauty of 600 years ago.
During the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeongbokgung was the main residence for the kings.
Gyeongbokgung is the oldest and the biggest of the five royal palaces in Seoul. Itsstructure reveals the highest technical level of architectural design in Northeast Asia
from the Middle Ages.

Tour Focus : Viewing of a film on the Bukchon Hanok Village, visiting the
Public Information Hall, where various documents on hanok are on display andobservation of hanok houses to experience traditional Korean culture.
History
- Registered Cultural Property No. 229 (designated on March 2, 2006)
- The Bukchon Traditional Culture Center was opened in October 2002. The house
was originally the residence of the noble-class Min family during the last days
of the Joseon Dynasty. The house is comprised of the anchae (the main building
of a house), the bakkatchae (outer quarters), a haengrangchae (an annex), a
byeolchae (a separated building) and a sadang (a shrine). The Public Information
Hall of the center is located in the haengrangchae building.
Overview
The traditional Korean-style house, hanok, is characterized more by the aesthetics
of architectural space than by the beauty of the house itself. In building houses, old
Koreans gave great consideration to their positioning in relation to the surrounding
environment. In order to preserve the traditional Korean architectural beauty of thecity and revive its history, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has been rehabilitating
a major cluster of hanok houses in Bukchon.
Bukchon Hanok Village was honored with the Award of Excellence in the 2009
UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation, an award
given by UNESCO in recognition of the achievement of individuals and organizations
in successfully restoring structures of heritage value in the Asia-Pacific region.
Bukchon, where the 600-year history of Seoul is preserved, is not a model villagebut a neighborhood inhabited by people. Walking through its narrow alleys, one may
feel the same sense of fun and excitement as walking through the small and winding
streets of Venice.

Bukchon Hanok Village
The best way to appreciate the essence and beauty of Korean-style houses, hanok,
is to visit Bukchon Hanok Village. Bukchon is not an official municipal name. The
name refers to the village lies to the north (buk in Korean) of Cheonggyecheon
and Jongno, the main streets of Seoul. It used to be a high-end residential district for
royal family members and high-ranking government officials. In the village, housesstand roof to roof, sharing walls, a sign of the warm spirit of the neighborhoods in old
Korea.
Bukchon is located between two palaces - Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung
- with Jongmyo (Shrine) in the middle. Houses were positioned based on Neo -
Confucian philosophy and geomancy. Bukchons narrow alleys, branching out across
the beautiful surroundings, are preserved in their original form and layout. About 920
houses are now clustered in the village, including small museums and workshops.Bukchon is the best place to glimpse back into the history of Seoul.

Overview
World Cup Park & Nanjido
Nanjido in the northwestern part of Seoul used to be a beautiful small islet full of
wild flowers, such as orchids, that bloomed throughout the year. However, in 1977,
urban waste was dumped there, turning the islet into a landfill. Nanjido remained in
such a state for 15 years, becoming known for its bad odor, dust and pollution. On
the occasion of the 2002 World Cup, the islet was redeveloped as an ecological park.
Construction began in October 1999 and was completed in May 2002. The World Cup
Park is composed of five zones - Pyeonghwa (Peace), Haneul (Sky), Noeul (Sunset),Nanjicheon (Nanji stream) and Nanjicheon - and is an eco-friendly space loved by
both Koreans and foreigners.

the developmental history of Nanjido island.
Haneul Park, located on one of the two peaks on the island, is known for its wind
power generation facilities. The 30m-high power generator produces 100kw ofelectricity from five huge vanes. The electricity is used to power the park facilities.
The gas being emitted from the buried garbage is also recycled there and then
supplied to the World Cup Stadium and to the nearby residential area.
Offering the most beautiful sunsets in Seoul, Noeul Park is a space for culture and
arts. The huge lawns in the park include sculptures and an observation deck and are
open to the public for resting and sports activities. Home to various wild animals,
such as elk, raccoons and wildcats, Noeul has become an ecological treasure.
Nanjicheon Park was formed around Nanjicheon, a branch of the Hangang (River).
The brook was heavily polluted by waste and remained abandoned for many years.
The deserted river area was converted to a park with fields of reeds. A variety of
plants now grow in the park. Various public facilities for the physically disabled,
the elderly and children, such as a playground for children, multi-purpose sporting
grounds, an artificial turf-covered soccer field and a lawn plaza, can be found in the
Nanjicheon area.
Nanji Hangang Park is the second largest of the 13 parks along the Hangang. The park
was formed so as to preserve the natural beauty of the riverside area.

Overview
Cheonggyecheon
Cheonggyecheon is a creek flowing west to east through downtown Seoul. But in the
course of fast development of the city in the late 1950s, it was covered with concrete
for construction of roads and an elevated road. The roads played an importantrole in city transportation at the time. But safety problems with the roads were
continuously raised, while paradigms of urban development changed in a way in favor
of restoration of urban streams.
The two-year restoration work that started in 2003, however, returned the stream to
its former glory, but in a new, modern vision. The promenades and the bottom of

leading to the sacrificial building are divided into two. The elevated path is for the
dead king and the lower one is for living people. In the past, memorial rites were
performed in the sacrificial building. Small sculptures on the eaves were carved in the
shape of animals such as monkeys and were believed to exorcise evil spirits.
Next to the sacrificial building, there is a pavilion and a tombstone which is obviouslythe tomb of the king. Sculptures of sheep and tigers surround the tomb and are
guardians of the dead king. There is also a statue of a military officer bearing a sword.
In front of the tomb is an outstanding sight called the Mangjuseok, which is a pair
of stones designed to guide the dead king to his tomb. Unlike the tombs of the Kings,
the queens tomb is simple. It doesnt have any pavilions or sacrificial buildings, but is
surrounded by only stone sculptures as guardians.

place to relax. There are numerous small hills with clusters of trees that create a
border between the mystery and serenity of the royal tombs and the hustle and bustle

Tour focus : To travel around Seouls famous tourist attraction crowded with hip
and trendy cafs, restaurants and shops lined up under as many as 160 ginkgo and
other types of trees.
Overview
The district around Garosu-gil in Sinsa-dong, used to be a quiet residential area with
only a few galleries and shops that sold expensive imported clothing. It was in the
early 1980s when art galleries first began to nestle here one by one, moving from
Insa-dong in downtown Seoul. These galleries helped to transform the road into
a major cultural street. The 700m-long road and back alleys are now dotted withcountless trendy shops, galleries, restaurants and cafs.
The name Garosu-gil means a tree-lined street in Korean. Every fall, when the
gingko trees along the street turn to yellow, various road festivals take place,
including a dance festival, street fashion shows, percussion performances and road
exhibitions.
The stylish galleries and open cafs here are quite different from those in Apgujeong-
dong or Cheongdam-dong, other high-end districts in Seoul. Many of the clothing
stores here sell only unique and upscale designs. Garosu-gil may remind visitors of
alleys commonly found in many European cities, only much quieter, more tranquil.

Tour focus : The damaged part of Seoul Fortress on Namsan was restored in 1977
and 1978. The recovered portion gives a glimpse of how the fortress construction
technique of the Joseon Dynasty had changed over years from King Taejo, King
Sejong through to King Sukjong periods.
Overview
Seoul Fortress was built 600 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty. At the beginning
of the dynasty, the founder King Taejo built a palace and a royal shrine with the
intention of moving the capital from Gaeseong to Seoul. In the fourth year of his
reign, he established an agency for city fortress construction and built an earth and
stone fortress connecting four mountains surrounding Seoul (Namsan, Inwangsan,
Bugaksan and Naksan) for the defense of the capital that was called Hanyang at that
time.

Seoul Fortress is 18,627m in total length with four large gates and four small gates.
The four big gates were Heunginjimun (in the east), Donuimun (in the west),
Sungryemun (in the south), and Sukjeongmun (in the north). The four small gates
referred to Honghwamun (in the northeast), Gwanghuimun (in the southeast),
Changuimun (in the northwest) and Sodeokmun or Seosomun (in the northwest).
The fortress was greatly refurbished in 1422, the fourth year of King Sejong. All of
the earthen part was replaced by stone and the offense and defense facilities were
reinforced.
In 1704, the 30th year of King Sukjongs rein, the fortress wall was stacked up
with polished square stones to make the wall perpendicular, which indicates an
improvement in fortress construction technique. Seoul Fortress underwent a number
of maintenance works, each work being discernable from the way the stones were
laid and how they are shaped.
Much of the fortress was destroyed for the excuse of urban planning during Japanese
colonial rule period and further damaged in the course of turbulent history of modern
Korea such as the Korean War.
2 Baekbeom Square Tour focus : Visit to Baekbeom Square where recovery of Seoul Fortress has been
completed. A briefing on the structure and history of the fortress will be given.
Overview
It is located halfway up the mountain while heading up for Namsan Park. Previously
the statue of former President Syng-man Rhee was there, but it was demolished and
replaced with Baekbeom Square in 1968, which is devoted to the late independencefighter Kim Gu. Baekbeom is Kims penname. Inside the park, there is a barefoot walk
where people can enjoy acupressure walking on it.

Bongeunsa Temple Life
Buddhist Temple with 1,000 Years of History
Standing in the midst of the skyscrapers towering over Coex ASEM Tower, Bongeunsa
is one of the major Buddhist temples in Seoul. Boasting 1,216 years of history,
Bongeunsa was built in 794 and has preserved a wealth of historical relics. For
instance, it houses a bronze censer bowl from Goryeo that is designated as Treasure
No. 321, a wooden tablet from the Sutra Hall (Panjeon) that has the hall name
written by the famous 19th-century calligrapher Kim Jeong-hee and woodblock

(Diamond Sutra) and Hansansi (a collection of Buddhist poems). In addition, the
23 m-tall statue of Maitreya is the tallest of all bodhisattva statues in Korea. It is a
blessing that Seoul
