A Dream of Dynasties: A Stroll Through Gyeongbokgung Palace

Walking through the streets of Seoul, the first sight of Gyeongbokgung Palace, with its towering Gwanghwamun Gate, feels like stepping through a portal to the Joseon Dynasty. Entering the palace, the blue tiles and red pillars of the Phoenix Gate gleam with a rustic and solemn luster under the autumn sun, whispering stories of centuries past. In front of Geunjeongjeon Hall, one can admire the intricate carvings and colorful paintings, experiencing the grandeur and delicacy of the palace architecture. Moving inward to Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, the clear lake water reflects the red leaves and pavilions like a mirror. As the breeze blows, the water surface ripples, resembling a serene Eastern painting. Strolling through the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion in the rear garden, despite the crowds, one can still feel a sense of tranquil poetry. This palace is not only a crystallization of history but also a symbol of Korean culture. Walking through Gyeongbokgung Palace is not just a visit to the dreams of dynasties but also a heartfelt dialogue with ancient Eastern traditions.
