Namdaemun Market (남대문 시장)

Namdaemun Market(南大門市場) is a large traditional market in Seoul, South Korea. Namdaemun market dates back to 1414, during the reign of King Taejong, as a government managed marketplace. In 1608, King Seonjo set up the office of seonhyecheong (hangul: 선혜청, hanja: 宣惠廳, "tribute bureau") in the district to manage the tributes of rice, cloth and money. A trading marketplace took its form around that time and commercial activities flourished as traders set up various shops. Much of the market is outside, but there are also many stores which line the streets. Many retailers buy their items, particularly clothing, at wholesale prices at Namdaemun, to resell in their own stores in other cities. Namdaemun is a popular tourist attraction.

Direction : Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 4. Hoehyeon Station, Exit 5.

Osanna - there will be time (canzona)

Oh, There will be time to turn away There will be time

Oh, There will be time to meet and play There will be time

And to pretend I've got a reason to be late

There will be time to die and to create

To be the tyrant or to be the slave

Oh, there will be time to wonder why There will be time

Or to be some boarder passing by There will be time

There will be time for every war and peace at mind

Forgettin' fairy tales until I'm blind

There will be time to curse And time to lie

Then will I dare? Then will I dare? Then will I dare? Then will I dare? Then will I dare? Then will I dare?

What will I do? What will I say? What will I cry?

How many How many days? How many lives?

Oh, There will be time to cross the seas There will be time

Or to fall to fall down on my knees There will be time

But I am spending never ending afternoons

Countin' out days with coffee spoons

In search of what has been already mine

How many days? How many lives? Yee But there will be time...

Dongdaemun (동대문 & 성곽공원)

Heunginjimun(興仁之門), literally "Gate of Rising Benevolence" or more commonly known as Dongdaemun(東大門), is one of the The Eight Gates of Seoul in the Fortress Wall of Seoul, a prominent landmark in central Seoul, South Korea. The Korean name "Dongdaemun" means "Great East Gate," and it was so named because it was the major eastern gate in the wall that surrounded Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty. The gate is located at Jongno 6-ga in Jongno-gu.
