Sajik-ro 89, Jongno-gu, Seúl
El parque Sajik es uno de los tres parques más famosos en Jongno-gu, junto con los parques Tapgol y Samcheong. Situado al oeste de Cheong Wa Dae, cerca del monte Inwangsan, el parque tiene unas impresionantes dimensiones de 188.710 m².
El nombre del parque fue elegido en 1395, cuando Taejo Lee Sung-gye hizo su primer Sajikdan (altar a los dioses del Estado) junto con el santuario Jongmyo, en el centro del parque. "Sa" se refiere a la deidad de la Tierra, mientras que "jik" hace referencia a la deidad de los cinco granos. Varios rituales por buenas cosechas tuvieron lugar regularmente en el Sajikdan; sin embargo, el área no fue reconocida como un parque hasta 1922, durante el período colonial japonés.
En el parque se encuentran muchos parques infantlies, estatuas de Shin Saimdang, Hwanghakjeong y Yi I (nombrado a menudo por su nombre de escritor, Yulgok), y la Biblioteca Municipal Infantil. El santuario Dangun y la Biblioteca de Jongno se encuentran por la zona. Siguiendo el camino cercano al parque Sajik durante 5 minutos, los visitantes pueden llegar a la ruta para excursionistas del monte Inwangsan con relativa facilidad.
