First Time Experience in Gyeongbokgung Palace

Mar 2014

Yeahh I'm back from South Korea!

Our first stop after leave our luggage in Bukchon Maru Guest House is the Gyeongbokgung Palace. We can go there by subway, alight at Gyeongbokgung Station on Subway Line 3 then take exit 5. The admission fee is KRW 3.000

The changing of palace guards ceremony that happen on 1 pm when we came

The guards looked resplendent in their bold primary colored uniforms accessorized with weaponry and flags as they performed the ceremonial parade to the the front of the palace main gate. And I wondered whether all the guards should have a mustache and beard

And the fascinating is that was the first time seeing snow fall in Gyeongbokgung Palace, since we come from a country that never has snow. Really not expect to find snow in March

After take lots of photos at Gyeongbokgung Palace, we decided to visit Insadong, a well known street for tourist and local alike because there are a lot of cutesy cafes, handicraft stores and art galleries
