On The Way to Namdaemun

Category: Travel Spots

On your way to Namdaemun, you’re passing through a really striking part of Seoul. The street scene blends modern skyscrapers with historical architecture — the central building with domes and arched windows is the Bank of Korea Museum, a classical landmark that contrasts beautifully with the glass towers around it. You can also spot signage for Hanjin Shipping, one of Korea’s major logistics companies, on the tall blue building in the background. The atmosphere feels lively: pedestrians crossing, cars moving along the road, and autumn-colored trees adding warmth to the urban setting. It’s a perfect snapshot of Seoul’s character — a city where tradition and modernity coexist side by side.
