Dongdaemun History & Culture Park is a unique delight for visitors to Korea's largest city. On this site are excavations revealing the foundation of Igansumun Water Gate and Chiseong of Seoul Fortress, the earliest defenses of the city and numerous buildings from the Joseon Dynasty, including a military training ground. Inside the Dongaemun History Museum are displays with relics arranged to tell the park's chronology.
Rising above the historic ruins is an ultra-modern event hall and design gallery and landscaped gardens, which replaced Dongdaemun Baseball Stadium. Artists produce original pieces for sale and local crafts delight visitors. While enjoying sweet Americano coffee blend, we watched young women try new fashions, artfully posing for photos.
