Amaze with the unique structure designed by Zaha Hadid and Samoo.

A visit that you should not miss. Being here and seeing everything with my own eyes is a feeling of a dream came true. The feeling of walking in the same place makes me think, is this the place where the Empress Ki character Seung-nyang waited for the come back of Wang Yu, the King of Goryo?

Ye Jeonha, I shall return :)
