Road of King Gojong

Gojongui Gil is a 120m historical walking path in Jeongdong, Jung-gu, Seoul, running from the rear gate of Deoksugung to Jeongdong Park and the old Russian legation. In 1896, during Agwan Pacheon, King Gojong traveled this path from Deoksugung to the Russian legation, and it also connects to the Deoksugung stone wall path. Gojong and the crown prince used it to take refuge, and part of the old Russian legation remains on the hill, with stone embankments and walls running along the path. Some sections are still under construction, so the surroundings are somewhat cluttered.
