Gyeongbokgung Palace Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Day and Night at Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Hello everyone.
Today, I'd like to share my experience visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace, which can be considered the heart of Seoul :)
📍 161, Sajik-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Gyeongbokgung Palace
⏰ 9:00~18:30
📌 Admission Fee: Adults 3,000 KRW (Ages 25~64)
By chance, I visited Gyeongbokgung Palace on a weekend and was able to see the 2024 Changing of the Royal Guard ceremony. The Royal Guard were the royal security guards during the Joseon Dynasty.
I had fallen in love with the impressive appearance of the Royal Guard on Instagram, and luckily, I got to see the event in person.
The 2024 Changing of the Royal Guard Ceremony is scheduled on weekends and public holidays from 15:00 to 16:00, so it might be a good idea to visit and watch the ceremony at least once.
2024 Changing of the Royal Guard Ceremony
⏰ March 23 (Sat) ~ December 29 (Sun) Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays 15:00~16:00
From Gwanghwamun Square in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace to the cultural street of Insa-dong (every Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday)
Gyeongbokgung Palace is not only one of the most beautiful buildings in our country but also has many pretty and historically significant spaces in every corner, so it's a great place to spend a day exploring.
I highly recommend a trip to Gyeongbokgung Palace for anyone traveling to Seoul🩵
My Visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace
Visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul was amazing! Got a hanbok for just 30,000 KRW for the dress, underpants, hairstyle and a purse. The changing of the guard ceremony was a colorful start, and the palace grounds were beautiful. Geunjeongjeon Hall and Gyeonghoeru Pavilion were stunning highlights. The contrast between the ancient structures and the modern city skyline was striking. A must-see in Seoul!

Hanbok: Gyeongbokgung Palace 🌸
Do you know that if you visit Gyeongbokgung Palace with a hanbok, the entrance is free? I booked mine along the street next to the palace and you will be spoilt for choices!
In Korea, the biggest palace is Gyeongbokgung palace and the place was huge. I think we spent at least 3.5 hours there. It has a fountain and lake area, with small cute pavilions and many palace sections, each main houses will be decorated with the usual furniture of the person staying in there.
There are so many cherry blossoms there so you will be in awe! Definitely a nice place to walk around and admire the architecture with cherry blossoms as it surrounding 🌸

N Seoul Tower Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Seoul Stunning Namsan Tower 🌸
#cherryblossom2024
The Seoul Tower in Nanshan is a very old tourist attraction and also southern mountains in autumn are really beautiful! On both sides of the road are light pink cherry blossom 🌸 trees, which can exercise your body and enjoy your eyes, especially the combination of South Mountain Pagoda and cherry blossoms. The photos are amazing
The best viewing time for cherry blossoms is limited, usually only about a week. Everyone should seize the time to see the romantic cherry blossom

Fall-ing in Namsan Tower
We took bus from Jangchungdan park’ bus station to namsan tower. They stopped us at the foot of the mountain, so we had to do a little hiking to the namsan tower. Not complaining, because we got to see the picturesque view of foliage along the hiking trails 🍂
What to do :
-Popular love lock
-Observatory for 360 degree panoramic view of seoul
(but you have to pay Adult: ₩21,000 / Senior (age 65 & above) & Child (age 13 & above): ₩16,000)
-Adventure theme parks
-Game arcade
-Hiking trails
-Hot photo-taking spot
-A lot of dining options, we just had light snacks here: icecream churros and cheeseball. The snacks were good
How to get there : shuttle bus or cable car
#winhkflight #Seoul #Korea #nseoultower #namsantower
I want to visit HK to enjoy their wonderful attraction and night
Magnificent Night View of Seoul
My second time here at N Seoul Tower but this time round with my love one. I fell in love even more with this magnificent night view of Seoul taken from the observatory of N Seoul Tower.
Tips: If u have booked the tickets online, please redeem it from the kiosk once you reach Namsan Tower after taking the cable car. Usually it will take minimum 1 hour (peak hour during evening) to be your turn to take the elevator up to the observatory. U may then spend that one hour to explore the Namsan Park.

Always heard of others that Hong Kong has one of the best city night view. I wish that I can be there the next time to witness it from the Victoria Peak at night. 🌆

Gwangjang Food Market 🇰🇷 Korea
#seoultrip
Food is good for the Seoul.
A terrible pun seems like a good way to lead into a post about street food.
Gwangjang street food stalls are in good supply, there a lots of local and traditional foods and the ladies cooking the food are welcoming and friendly.
Sweet and spicy is the order of the day here, whether it's meats, vegetables, pancakes or any other of the tasty dishes.
The atmosphere is good and comparatively to other markets I have been to in Asia, this is fairly clean too.
The market is vast and once you've finished eating or taking pics of the colourful food, there is fresh food stalls, fabric stalls and even a second storey of little shops too.
Gwangjang Market in Seoul
