Korean Friendship Pavilion, Korean pavilion in Chapultepec, Mexico City, Mexico.
This wooden pavilion features traditional Dancheong decorative coloring with intricate patterns painted in vibrant colors on its authentic Korean architectural structure.
The pavilion was inaugurated on March 8, 1968, as a gift from South Korea to Mexico during the Summer Olympics, symbolizing diplomatic friendship between both nations.
The structure serves as a replica of the pagoda in Seoul's Tapgol Park, where Korea's 1919 Declaration of Independence was first publicly read to the people.
Located in a section of Chapultepec reserved for visitors over 60 years old, access for younger visitors requires 30 minutes advance notice to park authorities.
The pavilion was completely painted and carved in South Korea before being disassembled, shipped to Mexico, and reassembled by Korean craftsmen on site.
