Youido Plaza



　　Youido Plaza is the largest plaza in Korea, with a length of 1,350
     meters and an area of 378,001 square meters.  It is located near the 
     Korean Parliament building and the Korean National TV and radio network
     named KBS. 

     It can hold more than one million people at a time.  The plaza is used
     for massive gatherings, such as national and religious events.

     However, when there are no such events, the plaza is beloved
     by citizens of Seoul as a resting place, athletic field, children's
     playground and even as a dating spot.
 One can go to the Han River by about 
     10 minutes walk from the plaza.
