Description I can finally get around to posting more pictures now that I finished moving from Korea back to America!  Here is the most famous gate in Seoul -- Gwanghwamun -- which has guarded the entrance to the royal palace of Gyeongbokgung since 1395 except for the 250 years it spent destroyed after a Japanese invasion and the decades it spent relocated and then slowly rebuilt after the Japanese occupation.  Now it is back in its original place and fully rebuilt with entirely Korean materials.
