k	kamec8 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I could realized how many people were here holding candle lights to achieve democracy peacefully... I wasn't here at that historical moment but the wide opened square and the big ancient gate made me picturing the size of the demonstration. That made me goose bump for a while.
h	hansi Maron on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Took the Subway to this square and had the chance to walk around all day on a nice Sunday in April. Since the US-Embassy is located next to the square there are different organisations who like to demonstrate along this road. On this particular day I was lucky to walk by at least five of those demonstrations. But regardless of the people standing around and holding banners, this place is very cool. If you enjoy the big monuments and old buildings as well as the art and some museums this is the right place. Lots of Photo-Opportunities and quite a bit to see. You can walk around and on both sides the several line road will go by. From this square you can walk down to the city hall (must see) and the old palace. There are many things to look at and if you are ever in Seoul make sure to take a day or two to look at this area. For all the coffee lovers out there, of course Starbucks or other coffee shops have a store close by and you will be able to enjoy your favorit drink:).
J	Jasmin Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is the center of Seoul, Korea's capital, and a major tourist destination. So it is a noisy square where people who always express themselves in the opinion of pleasant, angry or sad reasons. You can also have fun with various cultural events. There are also flea markets and international cultural events. On September 1, at the Gwanghwamun Square, 'National Paralympic Sports Competition promotion festival' and 'The Vietnamese Cultural Festival' were in progress. There was Vietnam's representative food experience booth (sugarcane juice, half American) booth. There was also a fashion show on the stage in front of the booth. The charismatic eyes, gait and costumes of the participating models stood out. As the weather is clear, I walk slowly down Gwanghwamun Square, It was just nice to see a lot of Koreans and foreigners coming together to enjoy cultural events and children playing in the bottom fountain. I just want to be filled with peace and tranquility. ----------------------------------------- 대한민국 수도 서울의 중심이고 주요관광지이며, 국민들의 자유의사발언대이기도 하다. 그래서 항상 즐겁거나, 분노하거나, 슬픈 이유 등을 의견으로 표출하는 사람들이 모여서 시끄러운 광장이다. 또한, 다양한 문화행사로 즐거운 체험도 할 수 있다. 시기별로 벼룩시장과 국제문화행사도 하는데, 9월1일에는 광화문 광장에서 '전국 장애인 체육대회' 홍보행사와 베트남문화축제가 진행되고 있었다. 베트남의 대표적인 서민 음식 체험(사탕수수 주스, 반미)부스가 있었는데, 현금으로만 이용할 수 있어서 아쉬었다. 또한, 부스 앞에 설치된 무대 위에서는 패션쇼도 진행되고 있었다. 패션쇼 참가 모델들의 카리스마 있는 눈빛과 걸음걸이, 의상이 돋보였다. 날씨가 쾌청하여 광화문 광장을 천천히 걸으면서, 많은 한국인들과 외국인들이 함께 어우러져 문화행사를 즐기는 모습과 바닥 분수에서 물놀이하는 어린이들의 모습 등의 평온한 광경을 보니, 그저 좋았다. 평화와 평온함이 가득하길 바랄 뿐이다.
吉	吉隆坡-Alexis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful square with an ancient palace as it’s background, a major tourist attraction of Seoul. The great naval admiral & King Sejong’s statues are prime photography spots. There’s a museum about King Sejong behind his statue, entrance free. Too bad the fountains aren’t working during winter.
N	NDK Family Travels on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful park. Great place to walk. Gwanghwaum Plaza - Seoul. Photos taken in 2016.
R	Roly Rodriguez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice walk if you would like to read about Korean history. If you look down at the small water feature that stretches all the way to the entrance it shows a timeline of Korean history. You can download a english copy online. Also can also walk past the US EMBASSY.
D	DUC TUNG on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The big place, so many people come to here. There is high building a lot. and a big Korea King center.
J	Joshua Clubley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A nice open space with good views of the gates of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Sometimes they have things set up here. When I went there were lots of ice sculptures made to look like penguins which was nice to see. if you are going to Gyeongbokgung Palace then I recommend going here to take pictures of the main gate area. You just have to time your photos to avoid the cars and traffic on the road.
