Love how the S.Korean gov makes full use of this space for recreational purpose like chilling, running and snapping pics. It was quite chilly too in the early month of October sitting here due to the mist. Very close to this old palace, open market of Dongdaemun and Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Dongdaemun is a place to shop mainly for clothes, accessories and some malls close at 5am- shop till you drop literallly.
