In Korea, we have famouse monuments about general Soon-Shin Lee. He was the best general of the whole country and he invented Geobukseon; a Turtle Ship. That is the epochal invent in the world in that time. So we made his monument for praise his achievements. It looks like he wears armor and grasp his sword at his side. His monument is in the Gwang-Hwa gate, so many people visit there because of that. And another monuments is King Sejong’s. He made Hangul; the Korean alphabet. So every elementary school has his monument, and also we can see that in the parks. Especially Hangul Proclamation Day, we visit Kyeong-Bok palace for see that. That monument is the very famouse and has many of them in Korea. We can learn their achievement by see that and study our history more easily.

These are the two famous monuments that I know one is the Phunket island and the another one is The world’s tallest Buddhist.
Phunket is Thailand’s largest island. The island’s most famous monument is the memorial of the heroines. The nature just built by itself, in every month i think there are a thousand of peoples that visit there.
The world’s tallest Buddhist monument in the world stands 127 meters (387 feet) in the town of Nakhon Pathom.

As everybody knows, Great Wall is the most famous monument building in China, also in this world. Great Wall is built in 1000 years ago. It was pass too many dynasty. A million people were died during they built Great Will. Some of them even be buried into it. Chinese people espend all their’s energies to put in there. It is looks so mangnificent. The Great wall over a lot of cities, and states, it’s about 7300 KM. A 1000 billion people went to There per year from different countries. If you walk to visit Great Wall, I think you can’t even finish 1/100 in one day.

One of the most important figures in Korea is the warrior, Lee Sun Sheen. That can be found in the GuamHam Gate. I saw that several times already. He borned Seoul, Ma-Reu Nae Gol. He is Cho Sun’s famous admiral. HanSanDo Victory, etc. He had lots of victories and kept a war diary. He is the best admiral and is a patriot. He is the person I respect the most. and Se-jong is very famous in Korea. He makes Korean language. and He studies people will be rich. I also respect him.

One of the most famous monument in Korea is Lee sun sheen. Lee sun sheen is famous person after Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. He died because the arrow hit the target him. But he said “Don’t tell my death to enemy.” Why he said that? Since he thought if enemy know the his death, the enemy thinks that is chance and attack. So most my country people respect him and made a his monument.
And second famous monument in Korea is seokuram. The seokuram is famous visited place in Korea. We can see the Korean culture in that monument. It was built about 1350 years ago. In my country students, must visit here to picnic or camp. The seokuram is in the gyeongju and many Korean vestige in the gyeongju.
