My video that I compiled

It used to be a traffic circle with a 40 year old water fountain but now …

It is an elliptical grass zone for providing the public an environmentally friendly open space to enjoy. Many festivals and protests occur here.

It is a smoke free zone. So do NOT light up unless you want to pay W100 000 fine.

Since 2004, an ice rink is set up every winter so if you are here on winter vacation. Try not to miss this exciting opportunity.
