Amsa-dong Prehistoric Site

The Amsa-dong Prehistoric Site (Korean: 암사동 유적), also called Amsa-dong Prehistoric Settlement Site, is an archaeological site and open-air museum in Amsa-dong, Gangdong District, Seoul, South Korea. The site contains evidence of human habitation from at 3,000 to 4,000 years before the present. On July 26, 1979, the site was made a Historic Site of South Korea. Around 4,000 B.C., people of the area lived inside huts with lowered floors called umjip. There is evidence of the consumption of cooked grain and fish by 3,000 B.C. Around 1,500 B.C., communities began transitioning into the Bronze Age and farming at scale. Due to modern Seoul's significant urbanization, this site is the only known major archaeological site in Seoul where Stone Age materials have been found, although such materials have also been found in minor sites throughout the city (and all around the surrounding Han River basin), often through rescue archaeology. The site is now partially open to the public, with museum exhibits and recreations of umjip.

Amsa-dong

Amsa-dong (암사동?, Amsa-dongLR, Amsa-tongMR) è un dong (quartiere) del distretto di Gangdong, Seoul, Corea del Sud. Il dong è prevalentemente conosciuto per il sito archeologico di Amsa-dong, nel quale sono stati ritrovati resti di epoca neolitica dopo che un'alluvione nel 1925 aveva riportato alla luce una grande quantità di terracotta decorata con righe diagonali. Si pensa che si tratti di un insediamento di Jōmon, esistito prima della diffusione della sfera culturale Songguk-ri nella penisola coreana durante l'età del bronzo coreana. Il sito archeologico Il sito archeologico di Amsa-dong (암사동 유적?, Amsa-dong yujeokLR) è un sito archeologico e museo all'aperto situato ad Amsa-dong, distretto di Gangdong, Seoul. Il sito contiene tracce di abitazioni umane datate all'incirca tra i 3000 e i 4000 anni fa. Il 26 luglio 1979, il sito divenne un sito storico della Corea del Sud. Intorno al 4000 a.C., gli abitanti della zona vivevano in capanne con pavimenti ribassati chiamate umjip. Ci sono prove del consumo di cereali e pesce cotti già dal 3000 a.C. Intorno al 1500 a.C., le comunità iniziarono la transizione verso l'età del bronzo e l'agricoltura su larga scala. A causa della significativa urbanizzazione della moderna Seoul, questo sito è l'unico importante sito archeologico conosciuto a Seoul in cui sono stati rinvenuti materiali dell'età della pietra, sebbene tali materiali siano stati rinvenuti anche in siti minori in tutta la città (e in tutto il bacino circostante del fiume Han), spesso tramite archeologia di salvataggio. Il sito è ora parzialmente aperto al pubblico, con mostre museali e riproduzioni di umjip.

Oryukdo

Oryukdo (Korean: 오륙도; lit. 'Five–Six Island[s]') is a group of islands in Busan Bay, in Yongho-dong, Nam District, Busan, South Korea. The name of the islands reflects the fact that they can consist of either five or six islands, depending on the current tides. The island closest to the mainland, Usakdo (우삭도), can appear to be two separate islands during high tide, which are named Bangpaeseom (방패섬) and Solseom (솔섬). The remaining islands are, in order from closest to the mainland, Suriseom (수리섬), Songgotseom (송곳섬), Gulseom (굴섬), and Deungdaeseom (등대섬). All islands are uninhabited, except for Deungdaeseom, which has a lighthouse on it. Oryukdo formed through volcanic activity 80 million years ago. Volcanic rock in the area were weathered away over time, leaving these islands. The islands are attested to in the 1740 geographical text Tongnaebuji (동래부지; 東萊府誌). The text reports that the number of islands changes depending on perspective. It was designated as a Busan National Geopark. It is also a marine protected area and a state-designated cultural heritage site. The Oryukdo Skywalk is a glass viewing platform positioned on a cliff overlooking the islands which opened in 2013.

World Cup Park

World Cup Park (Korean: 월드컵공원) is an ecological park built in Sangamdong-gil, in Seoul, South Korea. The park was established on May 1, 2002 in anticipation of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Games. World Cup Park is subdivided into five parks: Pyeonghwa Park (Peace Park), Haneul Park (Sky Park), Noeul Park (Sunset Park), Nanjicheon Park, and Hangang Riverside Park. The park is mostly composed of the former island Nanjido (Korean: 난지도; Hanja: 蘭芝島; lit. 'orchid island'). That island was joined to the mainland in 1977. Sub-parks Pyeonghwa (Peace) Park Located on the opposite side of Seoul World Cup Stadium, it is the main park of World Cup Park created to commemorate the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Games. Its name was given to symbolize world peace and unity. There is UNICEF Plaza, Nanji Pond, Peace Park, Hope Forest, and the World Cup Park Museum. Haneul Park Like its name Haneul, which means sky in Korean, the park is situated at World Cup Park's highest point. The Haneul stairs consist of 291 stairs and have become a tourist attraction. Situated at the highest point in World Cup Park, there are observation points on the sloping sides of the park. Noeul Park The park contains wild animals such as deer, wildcats and raccoons. There is a sculpture park which is a themed space with nature and cultural art works displayed on green lawns. Nanjicheon Park Nanjicheon Park was built along the Nanji Stream, which flowed under the Haneul Park. The stream was filled with sewage but it is now purified. It has an outdoor stage and various sports facilities. Hangang Riverside Park (Nanji Area) Hangang Riverside Park was built on the banks of Han River (Korea). It has soccer field, basketball court, grass field, River cruise ship port, and an area for nature-studies. History The park's area was once the islet Nanjido. Peanuts and millet were cultivated on this land. Construction began on an embankment for the island on January 7, 1977. As a result of this work, the island joined the mainland. Between 1978 and 1993, Nanjido was used as a municipal landfill for Seoul. By the end of its use, it had accumulated a large amount of waste. Work was then performed to reduce the environmental impact of the waste disposed of there. A wide variety of techniques, including waterproof barriers, methane gas collection, and the planting of plants, were employed. Collected gas is reportedly burned for heating. These efforts have reportedly been successful. Plants and animals have moved back onto the land, and there are now five different public parks that host 9.8 million visitors per year. The five parks are equipped with conservation facilities for further revival of diversified ecological system.

Hyehwamun

Hyehwamun (Korean: 혜화문), also known as Northeast Gate, is one of the Eight Gates of Seoul in the Fortress Wall of Seoul, South Korea, which surrounded the city in the Joseon period. The gate is also known as Dongsomun (동소문; lit. 'East Small Gate'). The gate was originally called Honghwamun (홍화문; 弘化門). History Hyehwamun was originally built in 1396, and was originally called Honghwamun. But this name came into conflict with the east gate of Changgyeonggung Palace, built in 1483. So in 1511, the name was changed to its current name. The gate's wooden gatehouse, constructed either in 1684 or 1744, was brought down in 1928, leaving only the stone archway standing. Later in the Japanese colonial period, the entire gate was brought down to make room for a street car line linking Hyehwa-dong and Donam-dong. The gate was rebuilt in 1992, slightly further north than the site of the previous gate. The name Hyehwamun means literally "Distribution of Wisdom Gate." It is one of the Four Small Gates (사소문) in the Fortress Wall of Seoul. Since the gate to the north, it was an important gate for people to move toward the north of the country. Preservation Hyehwamun is located along a busy street (Dongsomun-ro, 동소문로). The gate is incorporated into the Fortress Wall to its north. Immediately to its south is the street, but then the Fortress Wall continues on the other side of the street, running all the way down to the East Gate, Heunginjimun. Visitors to the gate today are allowed access to the front and the back of the gate, and under the gate itself. Visitors may also carefully view the wooden gatehouse above the gate, but are not allowed inside, and should not approach too closely due to a laser alarm system (July 2012). The gate can be accessed via subway line 4, from either Hyehwa Station exit 4, or Hansung University Station exit 5. Hansung University Station is the closer of the two, being only about 1.5 city blocks from the gate. Visitors can find it via Sajik Tunnel, Inwangsan (Mt. Inwang), Bukaksan (Mt. Bukak), Changdeokgung Palace, and Sungkyunkwan University. It intersects with the road toward Uijeongbu. People can see Bukaksan and Bukak Pavilion to the west of Hyehwamun Gate. Images References

Incidents 2024 Raid on the National Election Commission Headquarters and Gwacheon Police Station Investigation In December 2024, following President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of emergency martial law, some 300 martial law troops forcibly entered and occupied the National Election Commission's headquarters in Gwacheon for over three hours, confiscating officials' phones and sealing off the building's perimeter. The NEC formally condemned the action as "a clear violation of the Constitution" and noted that the incursion appeared aimed at gathering evidence for unsubstantiated claims of rigging in the April 2024 parliamentary elections. A subsequent months-long probe by the Gwacheon Police Station found no evidence of electoral fraud and determined there was insufficient basis to forward the case to prosecutors.
