Namdaemun Market Galchi-jorim (Simmered Largehead Hairtail) Alley
Namdaemun Galchi Jorim Alley formed around 1988. At that time, affordable galchi (cutlassfish) was stewed spicy and pungently to suit merchants' tastes, and through media coverage and word-of-mouth, it became famous as a must-try food. Originally, this area was a restaurant district rather than an alley specialized in galchi jorim. Heullak Restaurant and Wangseong Restaurant were the first to specialize in galchi jorim on their menu, and as galchi jorim gained fame, surrounding shops one by one changed their signboards to galchi jorim.

Deoksugung Palace's Daehanmun Gate
Deoksugung is the imperial palace of the Korean Empire, proclaimed in 1897, and was formerly known as Gyeongungung. Deoksugung was originally the private residence of Wolsan Daekun, the older brother of the 9th king of Joseon, Seongjong, and later served as the residence of Wolsan Daekun's descendants. When all the palaces in the capital were destroyed during the Imjin War in 1592 (the 25th year of King Seonjo's reign), it began to be used as a temporary palace from 1593 (the 26th year of King Seonjo's reign) and was called Jeongneungdong Haenggung (貞陵洞 行宮). Subsequently, in 1611 (the 3rd year of King Gwanghaegun's reign), it was officially named Gyeongungung (慶運宮) and became a formal palace, but later became a secondary palace when Changdeokgung was reconstructed.
