The big building on the right is Grand Mart Department Store, abandoned in construction for several years. On the left is an opening and functional Grand Mart, with a parking lot on the roof.

This is some sort of air force complex whose name I guess translates to Air Force's Home. This is before abandonment, as you can tell by the full parking lot. The building to the immediate north seems to be some kind of hall. All buildings north of it are apartments. The greenish-roofed building east of the parking lot had stores and restaurants.

This is a neighbourhood that was partially demolished in 2005. Only about four buildings are gone and you can see the dirt lot where they used to sat near the top middle, where it looks like four white cars are lined up and prepared to drive down. What you can't see is the high wall separating them. The building on the left is some kind of air force hotel. I went to a coworker's wedding there.

This is the largest site I've seen, Dangook University. Ignore the squares as they don't define the boundaries of the university. I have roamed freely around the southwest and northeast corners. The southwest building with the weird blue octagon on top seems to be a cafeteria/students' union with several stores inside. The one facing the road is an administration building still open. The one diagonally next to it is a science lab. The one near the northeast corner with a grey roof seems to be a function hall, and I suspect there's an auditorium on the upper floors.

These buildings are abandoned apartments in Doksan. There are also some abandoned stores in the northwest quadrant.

This is an old picture of Dongdaemoon. Where the big dirt lot is, construction has begun on the colossal Lotte Castle apartments. Many of the buildings lining the south side of the road are gone. The grey market I like to visit would be in the southwest corner of this map.

This is a picture of Gongdeok, which was demolished around 2005 and is still under construction. There are only a few structures left. I think the green roofed building is the warehouse we got inside.

Gwangheungchang is similar to Gongdeok. Today there are many more buildings up in the dirt lot, still under construction. In the northwest corner, probably under the black roof, is an abandoned restaurant. In the southeast corner is an abandoned apartment, and several still occupied.

Near Gwanghwamoon, there are a couple sites worth pointing out here. The northeast building that looks like an arrow pointing in that direction is the Hangook Ilbo. Directly behind it, opposite the arrow, is the Japanese consulate. The dirt lot in the southwest is now a parking lot. Some of the black-roofed buildings in there are hanok houses which are abandoned.

Across the street from Hapjeong Station, this dirt lot is surrounded by a large number of abandoned homes.

The right half of this lot is a parking lot which still has quite a few structures. Right in the middle is an impressive looking mansion which is now used to store rolls of fabric.

This area has changed a lot. It's near my new home, and when I visited there was only one still standing abandoned home. There were a few more that looked like they'd be next.

This is the location I visit the most. In this picture there are still a few buildings standing. In the middle on the left you can see a black roofed building with a light line on top. I think that's the church.

This is the girls' high school next to Yongsan. I've been in the long white building on the north side and the big white building on the southeast corner.
