The Monument at the War Memorial of Korean. Funny thing, I thought it was supposed to be the Korean War Museum (i.e. just that war), but it is actually dedicated to all the wars they’ve fought in. So it included stuff clear back to the ancient days. This monument though was their big dedication to the Korean War.
This Dragon helps hold up and ward the gates to the Yonggungsa Temple in Busan. Isn’t he darling!
There were some beautiful gardens at the Wolmi Island park in Korea 🙂

Photo of Yonggungsa Temple in Busan, South Korea. This is one of the few Buddhist temples built along the coastline as opposed to more land-based mountainous areas.
Gyeongbokgung Palace, a beautiful complex of dozens of palaces, buildings, and museums. You can literally spend an entire day exploring just this. If you don’t have an entire day, definitely pre-choose where you are going to go.
The stream running through the stepping stones at Cheonggyecheon Parkway.
Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul Korea
Stepping Stones across Cheonggyecheon Stream , a stream that runs through the middle of Seoul, South Korea. About 14 feet + above this on either side run the streets of the city, you walk down a long, sharp stairwell to the walkways beside the stream.
There you will fin many benches and stepping paths, and you can watch many families sit and play in the water. It used to be walled over, but the city decided to clean the area up and renewed the stream as a clean, beautiful parkway area. It’s a little respite in the middle of the chaotic cityscape.
