As in Seoul, the avenue of Guanghuamen is equivalent to Chang'an Street in Beijing. A wide street, in the middle of the street, there are sculptures of famous Korean historical figures, General Lee, and King Shizong. The size of the statues is very large, giving people a majestic feeling. Especially when it is sunny or sunset, it is more powerful.

As in Seoul, the avenue of Guanghuamen is equivalent to Chang'an Street in Beijing. A wide street, in the middle of the street, there are sculptures of famous Korean historical figures, General Lee, and King Shizong. The size of the statues is very large, giving people a majestic feeling. Especially when it is sunny or sunset, it is more powerful.
The bronze of the king of Sejong is like one of the landmarks of Seoul. At first glance, Guanghuamen Square may be regarded as the gate of other cities, but the king of Sejong is definitely the only one. Tourists who come to Seoul will take pictures here.
The majestic statue is the focal point of Guanghuamen Square, in honour of King Sejong, the fourth and most respected king of the Korean dynasty and creator of the Korean alphabet. The passage behind the statue leads to a museum showing the king's life and achievements. Free admission. Since I saw a drama about the king Sejong, I knew I had to visit his statue and take a photo with it. I didn't know it was in the center of Seoul. It is easy to find and not to be missed when visiting Gyeongboo Palace, Kiyoshikawa and other famous attractions in Seoul. The statue of King Sejong is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region, so don’t miss the opportunity to take a photo with it. You may have to queue up. If you travel like me, maybe ask someone to take a photo of you.
The most respected King of the Joseon dynasty, King Sejong the Great, who invented the Hangeul alphabets that strongly simplify the words of daily usage, which laid a foundation on the Korean words literature, philosophy and culture.
The bronze statue of the king of Shizong is located in the Guanghuamen Square on the former Shizong Road of Jingfu Palace. Considering that the national hero Shizong is the first king to reign and die in Jingfu Palace, the bronze statue of the king of Shizong was built here to improve the pride of the Korean nation. The excellent nature of the Korean nation spread to all corners of the world.
