Tapgol Park
A whole movement for independence began in this ordinary little park. Standing on this spot, an unremarkable street corner becomes the start of modern Korea.
A small downtown park that was Korea's first public park, and the spot where the March 1st 1919 Independence Declaration was read aloud, igniting a nationwide uprising.
