    The building in the background is the Gyeongseong Post Office (a.k.a. "Old Central Post Office") in Seoul, Korea. Built in 1916, it would be shelled, burnt out and gutted, during the Korean War, and then demolished in 1957.

    You mention that rail travel in Korea began in the early 1880s, but according to the Korea Rail website railway travel in Korea began in 1899 between Seoul and Inchon. Japan was given the concession to construct the Seoul-Busan line and began construction in the late 1890s with construction completed in the early 1900s.

    Gwanghwamun Gate As per Wikipedia: Gwanghwamun (Hangul: 광화문; Hanja: 光化門) is the main and largest gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, in Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is located at a three-way intersection at the northern end of Sejongno. As a landmark and symbol of Seoul's long history as the capital city during the Joseon Dynasty, the gate has gone through multiple periods of destruction and disrepair. Restoration work on the gate was finished and it was opened to the public on August 15, 2010. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwanghwamun
