I along with my friend had a nice trip around the Seoul. We enjoyed it very much. For me it was like a dream to observe the Korean Traditions, History and culture, wearing Korean traditional, dress I felt myself a Character of King Sejong, the great.
Built in 1395, is also commonly referred to as the “Northern Palace” because it is the furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeongheegung (Western Palace). Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful and remains the grandest of all five palaces.
Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoe-ru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond are still relatively in tact. Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculpture of contemporary art.
The National Palace Museum of Korea is located south of Heungnyemun Gate, and the National Folk Museum is located east within Hyangwonjeong.
I personally think we should preserve and promote our history and culture for the upcoming generations and the organizations like Touch Korea Tour are doing this in a remarkable way here in Korea.
The visit of the National Museum of Korea introduce us to the culture of Korea, the seasons, bridal, birth and funeral ceremonies, music instruments and all that was very unique to us. It also gives us comparison of various ages of empowerment and emperors in Korea. It also tells a clear story of the downfall and rise of Korea.
Our guide Sunny Park while explaining all the history of Gyeongbok palace created such an environment and interest that I felt myself to be a part of that era. She explained us the in detail about the various parts of palace and the ruling situation of various emperor. Indeed she proved herself a kind and competent resource person.
It was very interesting and romantic to visit
the Historical Street behind the palace. The Combination of modern and ancient
culture of Korean Society was awesome. I recommend every visitor to visit
Gyeongbok palace if you wana explore the real culture and tradition of Korea.
