A place that all Koreans must visit, Maewon (梅园)

In Shanghai Hongkou Park (now Lu Xun Park), there is a memorial hall for the proud Korean independence fighter Yun Bong-gil. That is Maewon.. It is also the place where he threw a water bottle bomb. In reality, this uprising had more than just assassinating or injuring several Japanese figures. At that time, China was also struggling against Japanese invasion, and in the midst of that, this Korean's uprising opened the hearts of the Chinese people and drew the full support of the then ruling party, the Chinese Nationalist Party. It felt strange that his memorial hall was located in the middle of Shanghai, the center of the Chinese economy. I think it's because of these people that we can travel freely as citizens of a sovereign country now. ^^ This place is currently maintained by selling souvenirs and charging a small entrance fee, so if you're traveling to Shanghai, I recommend that you buy a chrysanthemum and visit at least once. #China #Shanghai #Lu Xun Park #Yun Bong-gil #Hongkou Uprising #Shanghai Travel
