What precisely describes this picture ?[edit]

The original description says: A long view of a portion of the wall, 2 April 2005.

Let us try to guess a more detailled description. Flags are red in the south part, from Bongdon to Seonamammun. The tower outside the wall, in the middle of the picture is a Gun Tower 砲樓. This leads to: the tower is Namporu 남포루. The path has the right slope.

What is in the foreground is therefore a 'secret gate in the South'. But this is not the destroyed Namammun (that was located near Namsumun). This is rather an underpass for a pathway from the recent times. The 2013 photos of this underpass (panoramio) describe something square-shaped and of a larger size (4.20m high and may be 8m wide). Moreover, there are 2008 photos describing some works in this area. This leads to: there was here a pathway, that was enlarged later.

Can anyone provide more details ?
