Meet traces of the Korean Empire in the heart of Seoul Deoksugung Palace and modern cultural heritage in Jeong-dong, Seoul

It is recommended to walk along the traces of the Korean Empire with family or lovers. The walk between Deoksugung Palace and Jeongdong-gil, which connects modern and contemporary times, is a good one-day course in the order of Deoksugung Palace – Municipal Museum of Art – Jeongdong Church – Jeongdong Theater – Ihwa Hakdang – Gyeonggyojang – Nanpa Hong’s House – Jungnim-dong Yakhyeon Catholic Church. Jeongdong-gil, which leads along Jeongdong-gil to the Kyunghyang Shinmun, is one of the best places to take a walk in Seoul. In the vicinity, there are many historic buildings that penetrate our history from the enlightenment period to the early modern period, such as Deoksugung Palace, the former Russian Legation, Jungmyeongjeon Hall, and Jeongdong Church. In addition, now, a century later, it is reborn as a cultural street with Jeongdong Theater, Ewha Girls’ High School 100th Anniversary Hall, and Seoul Museum of Art, leaving behind the traces of history. Deoksugung Stonewall Road is only about 1.5 km long, but it is considered the most romantic road in Seoul. Deoksugung Stonewall Road and Jeongdong-gil always have lovers walking affectionately. The road from Deoksugung Palace Stonewall Road to Jeongdong Theater – Ewha Girls’ High School – Gyeonggyojang is special even in Seoul. In addition, the Jeong-dong area is an excellent course for exploring history with children. Also, if you remember that most of the historical events of the late Joseon Dynasty took place along this road, you can take a light walk as an experiential learning of modern and contemporary history with your children.
