📍 From Geunjeongmun, South Korea
Gyeongbokgung Palace is a beautiful palace located in Sajik-ro, South Korea. It was originally built in 1395 and served as the mainly royal palace for the Joseon Dynasty until its destruction by the Japanese in 1592. Almost all of the palace was destroyed, but the buildings were restored in 1867 and are currently some of the most iconic symbols of Korean culture found today. The complex is filled with granite pathways, gardens, and perfectly preserved buildings. The main entrance, Gwanghwamun Gate, is truly magnificent and worthy of a photo. The palace's buildings are a mix of traditional-styled wooden structures and elegant stone structures like Hyangwonjeong Pavilion. The grounds of Gyeongbokgung palace are also home to Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Heungnyemun Gate. Visitors should be aware that the royal family members still have rights to the palace, so some parts may not be open to the public.
