Seoul Tour 1: Gyeongbokgung Palace

Most travelers who come to Korea wouldn't want to miss these famous palaces in Seoul City. One of the palace that they dont want to neglect is the Gyeongbokgung Palace known as "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven" and was built in 1395. Tourists who want to get here could most likely be amazed of its exquisite designs and how Korean  people restored and safeguard it.

As we journeyed in Seoul City my friend and i took a subway line 1 going to City Hall. As we
wanted to have a long walking trip before going to Gyungbokgung Palace, heading toward it we saw the two famous statues of the two kings of Korea. The left picture shows King Yushin and the Right picture is King Se Jong

 We also took a chance to have a picture souvenir and to let my friend experienced the kingly outfit i approached the personnel to lend us the costume... but to our surprise it is really permitted to use it there. Then after that we went to King Sejong Museum..

 After having a sightseeing, we saw a lot of things that the past king made during his time including the Hangeul (Korean language) we also moved  forward to King Yu shin museum, we saw the different war armaments that was used before.

After our museum tour we moved to our plan going to Gyungbokgung. It is just 300m away from King Sejong museum. Before we entered in the palace we paid the entrance fee worth 3000 won for adults.

Then we took lots of  souvenir for the different palaces in Gyungbokgung like Gwanghwamun Gate, Geunjeongjeon and Vicinity, Donggung and vicinity Jagyeongjeon and Vicinity, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, Sajeongjeon and vicinity, Taewonjeon and vicinity and a lot more.


It was really huge place to tour with different views of palaces.





As we wondered there in that place my thoughts kept on remembering

my well loved drama i saw on television. I was really amazed of the infrastructure of the buildings and its arts.

After almost 1:hour and 30 minutes of walking and sightseeing we departed the Gyeongbokgung palace with a great smile in our faces.. for in one way we learned and we experienced the korean cultures,


so if you are planning to visit Korea don't forget to visit this place......
