Meet me at Gyeongbokgung Palace ๐Ÿ’ซ

#seoul It's like stepping into a movie and reliving South Korean Joseon Dynasty again. This was so sensational. It is spectacular how this is divided from the modern world. The amazing building that is incredibly painted with a series of gates and buildings that truly speak to the soul of Korea. The setting between mountains and the city is amazing and the juxtaposition of the palace to modern Seoul is stunning. The gates and the palace are the stars but the dining hall on the pond is an incredible building in a beautiful setting. Not only can you relive this, but the art performances were also magnifying. I felt like a South Korean royal. We rented the Hanbok to immerse ourselves more in the korean culture and also stumbled upon the changing of the guard, such a very interesting ceremony. The vibe of this palace is very touristy with the people strolling and taking pictures in their Hanbok. This was one of the highlights of my trip! Such a great experience. Tip: Entry price is incredibly reasonable at 3k but free if you're wearing a hanbok. There are free guided tours on offer as well with a timetable available when purchasing your tickets. Highly recommend ensuring you are there for the change of guard ceremony (10am & 2pm) as it's unique. There are maps available, take one - the place is huge. Be prepared to walk a lot and bring water as you will be in the sun. #vacation #palace #korea #historical #history
