Korea National Treasure - Namdaemun Ruin
I was on my way back from Malaysia to South Korea after the Chinese New Year vacation, I was tiring after 7 hours on flight with our beloved MAS. Upon reaching Seoul, I took a bus. To my surprised, the tv on the bus was reporting news on the above tragedy. That was it, Sungnyemun or better well known with the name of Namdaemun which apparently one of the tourist spot aka the Korea national treasure ruin after a fire hit on the night before. Not going to talk about the history of it as I think Wiki-Namdaemun does that better if anyone of you are interested.
I passed by the spot and manage to snap some pictures of it.
Before the fire….
After….
Sadly..I havent really stand on the ground and take a photo with the old gate as my friends and I thought that there were nothing for us to do there on our visits to Seoul as it was just a gate but now I have no more chance to do that.
And up to today, the arson suspect was caught by the police. Wondering why he did that……
Say bye bye to the 610 years old monument..Rest In Peace!!!
