Audio guide Sungnyemun Gate in English

In this audio guide, Emily Thompson takes you through Sungnyemun Gate telling the story as you walk. In your accent, no need to read signs — just let your eyes take in what's in front of you.

What you'll hear inside Sungnyemun Gate:

  • 1
    Two-Storey Upper Pavilion (Ujingak)

    The Ujingak is a two-storey wooden pavilion with a hip roof that crowns the stone platform of Sungnyemun.

  • 2
    Central Arch with Blue Dragon (Hongye)

    The hongye is the main central arch that pierces the masonry platform of Sungnyemun, forming the passageway through the gate.

    Japsang Roof Tile Figures

    The roof eaves of Sungnyemun display a row of nine small japsang figurines—carved animal and human figures that serve a protective purpose.
