Day 2: Hanbok experience in Gyeongbokgung Palace
There are tons of palaces in korea and some of them are really huge and classic. We didn't have enough time to visit every palaces so I decided to pick the best one based on tourist reviews. So there we visited Gyeongbokgung on our second day in South Korea. The palace is conveniently located in Seoul. It is just around 30 minutes away from Myeongdong via subway (Subway Line 3, Gyeongbokgung Station, Exit 5) or 15 to 20 minutes walk. The palace has multiple entrance, Gwangwhamun gate (in this photo) is the main entrance. The mountain behind is Mt. Baegaksan(Bukaksan) The name Gyeongbok means “Greatly Blessed by Heaven.” Gyeongbokgung Palace was built in 1395 and it served as the home of Kings of the Joseon dynasty. It is the biggest palace out of five Joseon royal palaces Make sure to watch the "Changing of the Royal Guard" ceremony. It is being held at the Gwanghwamun gate around 10 am and 1 pm everyday except Tuesda
