The final photo in this group shows the rear of the National Assembly Building, which houses and hosts the South Korean version of the US Congress or the British Parliament. The major difference is that the South Korean National Assembly is a unicameral body.
The National Assembly Building tells you you're leaving Yeouido if you're traveling westward. It takes roughly five hours to walk from my place to the east end of Yeouido, and close to an hour to cross the island.
