Gongdeok Station_Hyochang Park

 

Hello, this is AREX! :)

Do you know Hyochang Park, the city park located in Yongsan’s Hyochang neighborhood?

 

Hyochang Park is different from your normal park in that it has facilities related to veterans and other historical sites. 
You can really see the historical atmosphere here. It’s a great place to take a walk and be charged with patriotism.

 

So, shall we go more in depth about Hyochang Park?

 

 

1. History of Hyochang Park

With an area of 123,307㎡, Hyochang Park is home to the grave of the 22nd King of Joseon’s eldest son, Mun Hyo, thus giving the park its name. 
Hyochang Park was designated Korean historical site number 330 on June 8th, 1989.

 

2. Hyochang Park: A Resting Place for Citizens

The park does a great job of acting as a place of rest for its residents.
While families, couples, and animal companions alike take walks together, 
another side of the park is crowded but full of energy thanks to the elders chatting while playing Janggi together.

 

3. Hyochang Park: Creating the Will of Our Independence Fighters

 At the park, there is not only the resting site of Baekbeom’s Kim Koo, 
but also that of others who sacrificed their lives for independence such as Lee Bong-Chang, 
Yun Bong-Gil, Baek Jegong-gi and other main figures of the provisional government. 

This park’s cemetery is for those who dedicated their lives for the country.

 

4. The Various Roles of Hyochang Park

With a children’s park, resting area, walking trails, a bronze statue of Saint Wonhyo, etc., 
Hyochang Park is full of various elements making it much more than just a typical park. 

 

On the lower side of the park is Hyochang Stadium, which has an area of 27,593㎡. 
It opened in October of 1960 and is used not only to host soccer, track and field, tennis, 
and other various sporting events, but also is open for locals to hold their own rallies.

 

5. How to get to Hyochang Park

 From Seoul Station(“0”) take just one (“1”) stop on the AREX line to Gongdeok Station. 
After getting off the train, go out exit “6” and walk towards the park. In just “5” minutes you will arrive.

Enjoy walks downtown at Hyochang Park!

 

Since it’s not far from Seoul Station, I suggest stopping by.

[AREX NUMBER] It’s Small, But It’s Got It all: The Gongdeok Market!

Let’s take a ride on the AREX and 

get a taste of the traditional Korean market at 

Gongdeok Market, shall we? 

1. What kind of place is Gongdeok Market??

Located in Gongdeok-2-Dong, a neighborhood of Mapo-Gu, Seoul, Gongdeok Market is 

known as a specialty market with alleys filled with everything 

from Korean pancakes to pigs feet.

2. Gongdeok Market’s Source of Pride: Pig’s Feet Alley

In the pig’s feet alley, restaurants stand side-by-side 

where you can try all sorts of varieties of pig’s feet including medicinal pig’s feet, 

spicy pig’s feet, pig’s feet with chilled vegetables, etc. 

Due to it’s generous portion size and chewy texture, 

this alley is highly sought after by those getting off of work and their many co-workers.

atmosphere of the market.

Wherever you go, there’s nothing as fun as enjoying the sites of the market, 
don’t you think?
