Sajik-ro 161, Jongno-gu, Seúl.

La puerta Gwanghwamun es la entrada principal del palacio Gyeongbokgung, levantada en 1395 por Taejo, el primer rey de la dinastía Joseon. Es la puerta sur de las cuatro puertas de la antigua ciudad de Hanyang (Seúl), levantadas sobre los cuatro puntos cardinales. Su nombre significa “la luz de la civilización iluminará el mundo”, y contiene los altos propósitos que la dinastía Joseon tuvo al ser establecida. Gwanghwamun había sido construida de granito. En el centro se halla una entrada que se asemeja al arco iris, denominado Hongyemun, y arriba está la torre del portal. Gwanghwamun guarda un recuerdo amargo de la historia de Corea. Durante la ocupación de Corea por los japoneses (1910-1945), el gobierno de ocupación destruyó la puerta con el objetivo de suprimir la nación coreana, y en su emplazamiento levantó el Edificio de la Gobernación de Corea. Hacia el año 1968, el gobierno coreano construyó de nuevo la puerta Gwanghwamun, pero usando concreto. Sin embargo, en el año 2010 se completaron los trabajos de restauración total en madera, que es la que se ve actualmente.

Nwijo (뉘조) is a Korean restaurant specializing in wild vegetable cuisine. The name ‘Nwijo’ means ‘the god of the silkworm,’ and likens wild vegetables to silkworms in that both can be eaten in their entirety. The restaurant serves original full-course Korean meals that are prepared using hundreds of kinds of wild vegetables, including special seasonal vegetables.

A typical full-course meal starts with delicious pumpkin porridge, followed by seasoned wild vegetables, root vegetable ssam (condiments wrapped in vegetable leaves), slices of boiled meat, and steamed lotus leaf-wrapped rice served with jjigae (Korean stew) and various side dishes. This kind of traditional feast is pleasing to both the eye and the palate and is topped off with sikhye (traditional sweet rice drink). Lunch specials are also available.
