We met in Guanghuamen Square for a special exhibition of the Winter Olympics. There is a free outdoor ice rink. There are various Winter Olympics publicity activities. There is a robotic arm to simulate the high-level skiing. It is quite exciting. A group of four people, standing and fixed, headband VR glasses, The huge robotic arm simulates the irritation of various skiing in the air, and when you dive down, people are screaming, that is, the queue is too long, and we watched it for a while. There are various dolls and mascots inside, attracting many young people to take pictures, and everyone does not want to miss the four-year event.

Guanghuamen is located in the center of Seoul, from Guanghuamen to Shizong Road in the city hall, known as the heart of Seoul. In Guanghuamen Square, there will be a change of guard ceremony at the hour between March and June, August and November every year. The change ceremony is definitely a major feature of Guanghuamen Square. Guanghuamen also has a project to experience Hanfu. There are generals, soldiers and other costumes, just on the left side of the main gate, which is free. But there is a fixed time point, queue up, only put in six or seven teams to experience each time, and then you continue to queue up to wait for the next opening time point. For children who have a lot of time, they can come and arrange it, so they don’t have to spend money outside to experience it~ and, Guanghua Gate and Gyeongbokgung Palace are connected together. Go in from the Gyeongbokgung Gate, and the Gyeongbokgung Palace is behind. Tickets are required to enter the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Entering the Guanghua Gate, you can see the entrance ticket office of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The ticket is 6,000 won. PS: The best route to visit Guanghuamen and Gyeongbokgung Palace is to enter from Guanghuamen, turn around in the palace, and go out from the east gate, you can go directly to Sanqingdong and Beicun Hanok Village.
