Dongdaemun, Seoul · 서울
The great eastern gate of the old city, with a semicircular defensive wall around it, now sitting in the middle of a six-lane junction and floodlit at night.
Why it’s worth it
The wall trail up Naksan starts directly behind it, so this is where a city-wall walk begins. Best photographed from the DDP side after dark.
