About
Jongno-gu is home to three well-known parks: Tapgol Park, Sajik Park and Samcheong Park. Sajik Park, covering a total of 188,710㎡, lies west of the Government Complex Seoul on the southeastern slope of Inwangsan Mountain. At its center is Sajikdan Altar (a Historic Site), first built in 1395 by King Taejo (Yi Seong-gye), the founder of the Joseon Dynasty, at the same time as Jongmyo Shrine. In the word "sajik," "sa" refers to the god of the land and "jik" to the god of the five grains; Sajikdan was where rites were held for these gods to pray for a good harvest. The park has a children's playground, statues of the scholar Yulgok Yi I and Shin Saimdang, an archery range (Hwanghakjeong), and a city-run children's library, and Dangun Shrine and Jongno Public Library are nearby. A walk of about five minutes up the Inwangsan road beside the park brings you to the Inwangsan hiking trail.
