Namsan include Namsan Botanical Garden, Namsan Public Library and the Global Village Folk Museum. In addition, the Namsan circular road and Namsan No. 1, 2 and 3 tunnels serve as major corridors linking the southern part of the Han River to the downtown area in the north, providing easy access to Namdaemun and Itaewon and relieving traffic congestion in downtown Seoul.
In the neighborhood, a traditional Korean village of Namsangol Hanok (Korean Traditional House) Village and Korea House offer excellent examples of traditional Korean architecture. |

Namdaemun Market
As Korea's largest and oldest traditional market, Namdaemun is a barometer of Seoul's economic situation and where Seoulites can comparison shop for the lowest prices on all sorts of goods. It is also a world-famous shopping paradise and an attraction that tourists should not miss.
At Namdaemun, a great deal of effort has been made to foster a tourist-friendly atmosphere. Information is available for local residents and tourists and free interpretation services (both in English and in Japanese) are readily offered to foreign tourists.

Changdoekgung
Palace
Changdeokgung Palace was built during the 5th year
of the reign of King Taejong (1405) as a royal villa.
It was later used as royal residence when Gyeongbokgung
Palace was burnt down during the Japanese isnvasion
in 1592.
Since the site of the Palace is not level, the layout
of the buildings is designed in such a way that
architectural forms adapt to the changing natural
terrain. In particular, the back garden, along with
numerous pavilions, tens of thousands of trees and
flowering plants attest to the Korean design tradition
that harmonizes the structure with its natural surroundings.
