Dosan Park Seoul South Korea

Dosan Park was built in 1973 to commemorate Dosan An Changho's patriotism and his achievements as an educator. An Changho was a Korean independence activist, reformer, educator and politician. He organized and led the Korean-American immigrant community in the United States, with Heungsadan (Young Korean Academy) and Gukminhoe. He was also a key member of the founding provisional government of the Republic of Korea from April 1919. The statue of An Changho is the central feature of the park, circled by walking trails. Nearby office workers come here to take walks during their lunch break. The park is open for everyone and is very popular among overseas visitors.
