Monuments in Boramae Park
#JulyTravelSupport
I had a meaningful time visiting Boramae Park and looking around the various monuments erected throughout the park. This time, instead of taking a walk or exercising, I focused on slowly looking at the monuments and reflecting on their meaning.🌳
🛩️At the entrance to the park, there was a monument honoring the history of the Air Force along with a fighter jet, which reminded me of the fact that Boramae Park got its name from its history as the site of the ‘Air Force Academy’. This monument contains the meaning of honoring the dedication and sacrifice of the Air Force, and it made the viewer feel solemn.
Going a little further in, I was able to see sculptures themed on peace and freedom, as well as monuments related to the independence movement. Each sculpture had a detailed explanation, which was very helpful for understanding. I thought it would be a great place for history education, especially with children.🦋
In addition, the monuments at Boramae Park do not simply honor the past, but also give us many messages as we live in the present. It was a time to pause in front of each monument, reflect on its meaning, and feel grateful. 🍁
It was a short visit, but it was a meaningful day where I was able to think about our history, security, and peace through the monuments of Boramae Park. If I have the chance, I would like to visit again with my family or friends and talk more. 🍁
