Souimun Gate (昭義門) was once a prominent part of the Seoul City Wall during the Joseon dynasty. Situated between Sungnyemun and Donuimun Gates, it served as a key passageway to the southwest of Seoul.
The area surrounding Souimun was a bustling hub of both land and water transportation, filled with people and goods during the Joseon era.
Additionally, just outside Souimun was the site where individuals convicted of capital crimes, along with Catholics considered a threat to Neo-Confucian ideology, were executed. These public executions were meant to serve as a stark warning to passersby about the consequences of crime.
In 1914, during the Japanese colonial period, Souimun was demolished to make way for road development, as it was seen as an impediment to modernization.
This exhibition offers visitors a glimpse into Souimun's rich history, showcasing its role as both a guardian of the Seoul City Wall and a vibrant center of activity before its demolition.

Very satisfied, every time I go to Seoul, I go to Aibao Paradise. Although Fubao has returned home, there are other pandas and grandpas. In addition to Panda Paradise, there are many outdoor amusement projects, and the dining price is reasonable.

The show is really wonderful! ! ! I bought 20 o&#39;clock, and I can pick up the ticket at 19:30. They are all packed in the envelope in advance and tell the name of the front desk lady. You can&#39;t take pictures and videos throughout the whole process, but it&#39;s really wonderful. I can&#39;t express it in words hahaha. Fortunately, I have interacted, so happy, be bold, as long as you reach out, you will basically hit your palms with you 🖐🏻

What attractions in Seoul are worth visiting? It is estimated that it is Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Qingwatai, Korean Folk Museum and Modern Art Museum are connected together. You can go shopping together. The whole Gyeongbokgung Palace is still quite big, a little bit small. The feeling of the Temple of Heaven, tickets 3,000 won, If you wear traditional Korean clothes for free tickets, the whole trip is about 1 hour, and it is very good to take pictures everywhere~
