Day Trips from Seoul to Gyeongbokgung Palace

The name Gyeongbokgung contains the meaning that "the new dynasty will enjoy great fortune and prosper." The Gyeongbokgung Palace tour provides an opportunity to increase your understanding of Korean culture. In addition, Gyeongbokgung Palace offers traditional performances such as the Changing of the Royal Guard Ceremony held every day at noon, providing foreigners with a chance to experience Korean traditions vividly. Insa-dong has galleries, traditional tea houses, restaurants, street vendors, specialized shopping malls for handicrafts, antique shops, antique stores, and flower shops, so I recommend taking a walk and eating bibimbap. Take a walk along Bukcheon Hanok Village Road and feel and experience the beauty of Korean culture. Gwangjang Market is the first permanent market in our country, established in 1905. The Korean pronunciation of the name was kept the same, but the meaning of ‘widely gathering and preserving’ was added, and it became the current Gwangjang Market.
