Seoul City Hall Plaza
The plaza in front of Seoul City Hall was newly built as lawn ground in 2004. It has always been a place people gather together. In 1987, there was a huge demonstration called June Uprising for Democracy on this spot and in 2002 citizens filled
the plaza to watch the World Cup games together. Large-scale cultural activities such as "Hi Seoul Festival" or the opening ceremony of the Daejong Film Festival are held on the lawn. It has water fountains which take on various colors by illumination, and provide a splendid night view with 48 lights surrounding the plaza. In summer, it is used as lawn ground, and in winter an ice rink is constructed for citizens’ enjoyment in the middle of the city.
