Seoammun (Western Secret Gate), a quiet and peaceful road
Seoammun is also referred to as Sigumun.
In the past, when soldiers or residents died inside fortress, the corpse went through Seoammun instead of Daeseomun.
Although this gate has sad name, the road in the gate is so even and quiet and and the place is great for a date.
Walk about 10m out of Seoammun toward Hyoja-dong and look back. Then, you will find this hidden gate is different from other hidden gates.
While other gates have door on the wall, this hidden gate has ‘tooth’ sticking out of wall.
Right after the construction of fortress, Seongho Lee-Ik visited Seoammun and said ‘Other places are rough and the western part is slightly better’. Seoammun has relatively even terrain and the gate has unique shape for protection.
When you walk toward Hyoja-dong direction from Seoammun, you will pass Hyojawon Intersection and see Hyoja Police Station bus stop. When you go inside the fortress, you will shortly see Deogam Temple.
