This year, it's a rather cold, windy, blustery day after a night and morning of rain so there aren't that many people out at the moment. There are still loudspeakers going, with speeches and music, though.

Samil and Tapgol Park
Samil, which is the numbers three (sam) and one (il) combined, is the holiday commemorating the March 1st Movement, or resistance against the Japanese. On March 1, 1919, a group of Korean nationalists read a Declaration of Independence near Tapgol Park. In the first picture below of Tapgol Park (all taken from my apartment), the monument for Samil is the grey stone wall on the left side between the gate at the top and pagoda on the bottom.
