Prologue – Story of the City of Sejong
Along this two-ring structure, 6 major city functions are positioned independently. The 6 areas are Central Administrative Zone, Cultural International Exchange Zone, University Research Zone, Medical Welfare Zone and High Tech Knowledge Base Zone. The technologically advanced City of Sejong is progressively developing the city towards the goal of becoming a “Ubiquitous city” focusing on improving the quality of life within the harmony of people, the environment and information technology. The city brings the futuristic city of imagination to reality.
The abundant green zones composing more than half of the city’s overall area, the convenient urban system created by a combination of the latest IT technologies, the culture and leisure facilities enabling a satisfying leisure life, a world-leading-class education system, convenient transportation, attractive city landscapes and relics that embrace Korean history and tradition — these are the elements that are building City of Sejong into Korea’s central city of happiness.
City of Sejong is a city developed to realize a life of prosperity by being a multifunctional administrative city with a central government office, Government Sejong Complex and the Official Residence of the Prime Minister; a human-centered communicative city with the Complex Community Center, which undertakes the responsibility of providing convenience and leisure to the Korean public; and an environmentally friendly city with Sejong Lake Park and the National Central Arboretum.
Washington, District of Columbia, the capital of the United States, a city that moves the world, was developed with an innovative plan. In order to reflect their symbolic meaning as the center of a new, independent country, the city planner, Pierre Charles L’Enfant, placed the Capitol and the White House on an elevated area compared to their surroundings and employed a radial structure from the city’s center point.
The Multifunctional Administrative City, City of Sejong, is building another city for the future. The Government Sejong Complex is constructed with different height and elevation to achieve a certain level of visual and physical openness, and it generates naturally lower elevation levels towards the Lake Park. This element is a symbol reflecting City of Sejong’s will of assuming a low stance when it comes to listening to the Korean public.
If Washington, D.C. in the 20th century was a city where everyone enjoyed freedom, Sejong City in the 21st century is the city everyone dreams of. The futuristic cities featured in movies are brought to life with the name “City of Happiness.” The city has preserved the central green zone of the city, and it has created a unique two-ring city structure with the green zone at its center. The first ring is the mass- transit focused road surrounding the city center, and the second ring is the outer circulating road that surrounds the outskirts of the city that allows any location of the city to be reached within 20 minutes.

Government Complex Sejong
A Dragon-Shaped Space of Communication
A spiritual being of the imagination, the dragon is an animal found in many cultures, and it commonly features a large, snake-like body with supernatural abilities.
Dragons were depicted as the guardians of the underworld protecting relics of earth in ancient India, and as mystical beings creating clouds and rain in ancient China, and in Korea, they were regarded as water or sea gods that protected the harmony of the wind and clouds. Since the early days of history, dragons were worshiped as guardian gods of a nation, guardians of ancestors for royal families
The Complex is composed of 18 separate buildings that are connected by bridges and rooftop gardens, and its overall length reaches 3.5km. It also houses 19 governmental departments and 18 governmental organizations on 600,000 square meters of land, making it the world’s largest governmental organization housing complex.
Diana Balmori, who participated in the designing of City of Sejong as a landscape advisor, advised the city planners to build a single, organic town with a structure that blends with the ridges of the hills. It was a message that embodies the philosophy that a city should form harmony within nature.
The Government Sejong Complex forms a shape of a dragon through a continuous dotted line inferred from a linear landscape.
The Pentagon is a building consisting of 5 homocentric pentagons or circumferential ring, and 10 spoke- shaped paths connect the overall structure. It is the world’s largest governmental building built in 1943, and at the time of its completion, it was capable of holding 25,000 people on 137,000 square meters of land. Due to its characteristic exterior and symbolic meaning as the world’s best military organization, the Pentagon is one of the key landmarks of Washington D.C. and it is a place where tourists continue to visit.
and as gods bringing prosperous harvests or fishing. Dragons were also seen as fire- preventing gods for buildings, as they were believed to possess the power of the water god.

Sejong Lake Park
A Lake Embracing the City
With the philosophy of bringing a harmonious coexistence between mankind and nature in its city planning, Zurich is highly regarded as one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the world, and the well-preserved lakeside scenery and range of facilities offer a unique and exotic experience to visitors to the city.
Zurich in Switzerland is a lake city near Limmat and the River Sihl. Lake Zurich, which is a crescent-shaped lake 40km in diameter, has cobalt blue waters that are famous for being crystal clear, allowing people to see fish swimming.
Sejong Lake Park also offers the peaceful scenery of a lakeside city with its islet and trails that surround it. The park is designed to offer a rest area in an urban environment and a central venue for cultural events. The islets, featuring five different themes, enable various waterside culture experiences, including performances and water sports. The floating stage island, designed to reflect the shape of pebbles, is capable of accommodating 1,200 people, and is the largest among Korean stages. The water play island, with a clean sand beach, water flower island, with various water plants, marshland island and festival island all boast their charms to welcome the public. Also, the trail (8.8㎞) and bicycle road (4.7㎞) offer the most refreshing lakeside environment to the public.

Stroll along with Korean History
The Presidential Archives in the City of Sejong is the world’s first structure that houses all the records related to the leader of a country, the president. Inside the Presidential Archives, a sloped wall with a 7-meter oriental phoenix pattern fills one side of the room. The oriental phoenix, which appears in various documents, is an imaginary being that is said to be seen when a great lord ascends the imperial throne. This is because an oriental phoenix is an auspicious being that only appears when something good happens. The symbolic meaning of the oriental phoenix rising up to the sky is a reflection of the hope that the former and future presidents of the Republic of Korea will leave good records in the archive.
The “Annals of the Joseon Dynasty,”
listed in UNESCO’s Memory of the
World Register, is the record of 25 kings of the Joseon Dynasty, and it is the most fundamental reference containing the history of the
Republic of Korea. The Presidential Museum, which will succeed the record keeping since the Joseon Dynasty, will systematically house and manage various documents, photographs, videos and items which former presidents have left behind for the Korean public.
Scheduled to be completed in 2015, the City of Sejong Presidential Archive is being developed with the concept of “a space to be pleasantly enjoyed at all times.” The trails, grass park and observation deck outside the archive will allow visitors to stroll around the area, being reminded of the precious records of the Republic of Korea.

The mountain that embraces the power of the Moon, Jeonweolsan Mountain (轉月山), is located in the center of City of Sejong, and it has various ancient legends that pray for prosperity at its spring, Yongcheon Spring, such as the legend of the good daughter-in- law turning into a stone.
About halfway up Jeonweolsan Mountain is a stone that resembles a lady looking over her back. During a severe flood in ancient times, the good daughter-in-law failed to listen to the warning of a monk
to never look back no matter the cause, but looked back and turned into a stone. The stone, known as the “daughter-in-law stone,” is said to grant the wishes of those good daughters- in-law who pray in front of the stone with a lit candle.

A legend says that a serpent (Imoogi) who lived in the clean waters of the Geumgang River wanted to ascend to heaven, so he prayed at the mountain top for 100 years and was able to fulfill his wish. However, the serpent, who failed to follow the forbidden rule during his prayers, fell from the sky in the middle of his ascent through the water sprout from heaven as the sprout was cut off. The serpent fell back to Yongcheon Spring and became a willow tree. As it is said that holding a ritual for rain at Yongcheon Spring holds spiritual powers, many visit the never-drying spring to pray for prosperity.

Kimjongseo General Grave The General Tiger of Middle Ages Korea
General Kim Jong-seo was a man who excelled in both literature and martial arts, and was also a great strategist. The general was a hero who expanded the country toward the north through an expedition to conquer in the 1400s, and his family was loyal to three generations of kings, earning him the title of
“Symbol of the Loyal.”
However, during the reign of the sixth king of the Joseon Dynasty, King Danjong, General Kim Jong-seo fought against the king’s uncle, Grand Prince Suyang, who forced his way to the royal throne. During his fight against the Grand Prince, the general was killed along with his two sons at his own residence, and with the false accusation of treason which portrays him as the hero of one of the most tragic episodes of the time.
In commemoration of the loyal spirit the general had for times to come, City of Sejong holds the “General Kim Jong-seo Festival.”
Together with the general’s tragic death, there is the story of the general’s horse. At the time of the general’s execution, the general was sentenced to dismemberment, where not a single limb of his body was preserved. Then the general’s horse picked up a part of the general’s foot with its mouth and traveled all the way to the general’s home town, Janggi-myeon in Gongju-si (currently Janggun-myeon, Sejong-si). Upon its arrival, the horse died from his fatigue, and the villagers built a tomb for the general’s foot and buried it.

Wang In, a scholar in Baekje, brought the “Analects of Confucius”
and the “Thousand-Character Classic” to Japan, and Ah Jik-gi, an envoy of King Geunchogo, taught Chinese characters to the crown prince of Japan. Baekje’s influence on Japan is also present in the
