Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul

Interesting palace with a beautiful pond in the middle. We had a lot of fun walking around the buildings in the middle and admiring those who rented costumes to dress up. There are guided tours but I think they are only available in Korean at the moment due to the pandemic.

Honestly one of my favourite places to visit in Seoul. The air felt so refreshing here knowing you have a city that never sleeps outside these palace walls. Walking around the palace was a nice and calm activity.

I went early in the morning and was able to avoid the crowds and I caught the guard ceremony. Beautiful grounds and buildings to learn about the history of Korea. The juxtaposition of this historic palace against the modern, bustling skyline of Seoul was a wonderful experience.

It's a straightforward, traditional Korean Palace. It was nice to read its history - it's already been restored twice after the Japanese destroyed it in the 1500s and 1915! Appreciate all the work to restore and maintain it!

When you enter this palace from the front gate, you will see 3 large buildings. The area of this 3 buildings will be very crowded. The first is the gate next to the road, then the gate 2, and the main building. Near the main building you can turn to the east side through a small door you will enter the area of the kingdom that is vast, quiet, and beautiful more suitable if you want to take pictures, not many people enter into this side
