Round about Seoul

So this week is Spring Break and I am doing the local tourist thing. Sunday we went to Insadong and wandered. Near Insadong we saw this golden pagoda. But could not figure out what the significance was. We also saw the bell they ring on New Year's Eve. It could be compared to Dropping the Ball in Times Square but no where near the same magnitude. At any rate it is the place to be on New Years Eve. The last picture is the explanation of the bell.
