Seungsa Bridge is a beautiful stone arch bridge that spans across the pond in front of Gwanghallu Pavilion. With its elegant curve, it adds to the scenic beauty of the area.

Meaning of Seungsa Bridge

The name “Seungsa” means “to continue thinking deeply” or “to reflect.” It symbolizes the contemplation of scholars from the Joseon era, who would cross this bridge while reflecting on their studies and life.
The bridge is an excellent example of traditional Joseon architecture, perfectly complementing the historical ambiance of Gwanghallu Garden.
The reflection of the bridge in the pond creates a picturesque scene, making it a popular spot for photography! :camera_with_flash::herb:
