Heung-in-ji-mun: "Gate of ascending goodness"
The South Korean capital Seoul originally had a status wall with four large and four small city gates. Dongdaemun Gate is one of four major city gates and was built in 1396.
This gate is a good starting point if you want to do a "Seoul City Wall hike". The historic city wall is Unesco World Heritage Site and leads over 20 km over mountains and valleys once around the city. Very exhausting but highly recommended.
