I visited Gyeongbokgung Palace for the first time after going to Samcheong-dong! There are two entrances: Heungnyemun Gate and the National Folk Museum side. I entered through the museum side after paying at the kiosk in the information center. I followed the route: Oesojubang - Geunjeongjeon - Heungnyemun Gate - Gyeonghoeru Pavilion - Gyotaejeon - Jagyeongjeon. The palace was much larger than I expected. I took a short break near Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and strolled around lightly, but it took longer than I thought, haha. There were many foreigners wearing hanbok, and they looked so beautiful :)) Next time, I plan to wear hanbok myself and explore the palace again! From inside Gyeongbokgung Palace, you can see the Blue House, Inwangsan Mountain, and many tall buildings outside. It felt harmonious and impressive. I’ll definitely visit again on a nice day, haha.
