If you're curious about Jagakru, be sure to go see Jagakru on display in the basement of the Palace Museum^^ #Exhibition I visited the Palace Museum once in February 2022 and once in the fall of 2020. In 2020, there was a special exhibition of relics. It was an exhibition of Western porcelain used by the Joseon royal family in the late Joseon Dynasty.

I visited the Hello, Peony exhibition held at the National Palace Museum of Korea! It is operated by a reservation system, and 30 additional people can enter per hour on site! Peonies are flowers that symbolize wealth and honor, and they are said to have been used often by the royal family! I was able to see peony paintings, clothes with peonies, accessories, and porcelain! I think the exhibition was even more attractive because it had pretty pictograms! How about going to the cool Hello, Peony exhibition hall for your summer vacation? #SeoulTravel #Gyeongbokgung #NationalPalaceMuseum #SummerContained #HelloPeony #VacationTravel #SummerVacation #Outing

Not driving, traveling with my father who is over 60 years old. If you are going to Seoul for the first time, or planning to travel alone, this post is for your reference. The itinerary is suitable for people who want to see the history and culture, experience life in Seoul, and are not in a hurry to complete the itinerary, but not suitable for shopping people. —————————————————————————— The first card I recommend is the Climate Companion Card. [You can find it by searching on Google] This card allows you to choose from 1 to 7-day passes, which are valid for "subway in the Seoul area (within the metropolitan area), Seoul city-licensed buses, community buses (including late-night buses), and Dinglingling buses." A 7-day pass is only 20,000 won. Well worth it. (You can buy it directly at subway stations and convenience stores like 7-11!) After use, you can use it as a T-money card. The second card is the "wowpass card", which is suitable for transportation and ordinary food payments. It is similar to the Octopus card, but can be exchanged for foreign currency. It is easy to use when we take the subway outside the metropolitan area, buy things at convenience stores, and pay at restaurants. Note: 1. Generally, cash is required at night markets. 2. You can download the wowpass card apps first, use the electronic card or find out the location of the vending machine first, and make sure you will get off at Incheon Airport Terminal 1/2. You will have to queue up in long lines at Myeongdong and Hongdae subway stations. 3. It was my first time to go to Korea, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a currency exchange place there, so I exchanged won at a Hong Kong bank [0.062]. I found that the exchange rate was lower than wowpass [0.067], local and airport currency exchange shops [0.071]. I suggest that you exchange at half the rate at a Hong Kong bank! ） 4. I would not recommend you to buy a transfer card, because senior citizens can enter many attractions for free, nor would I recommend you to buy a T-money card, because there are two cards that offer better discounts. But if you don't want to bother, it's up to you. Day 1 (We took an overnight flight, so we got off the plane at around 7am, but we queued until almost 9am to leave the airport. Since it was the first day, I was worried that my dad had not adapted to the weather, and we were in a strange place, so we changed the original route.) Morning: Arrive at Incheon Airport, take the subway, go to the hotel, and have lunch. Noon: Go to Gwanghwamun Station, visit Deoksugung Palace, pass by Seoul Library, and go to Seoul Plaza (it is recommended to go there in the evening, as there is nothing to see at noon), and wait for the sightseeing bus (you can make an appointment in advance, which is suitable for the elderly to take a break) Evening: Go to the Myeongdong night market and have dinner.

Evening: Go to Myeongdong Night Market (a must-go!) and watch the Nanta show (a must-go!), and have dinner. Day 3 Morning: Arrive at Suwon Station, have lunch, and visit Suwon Palace and Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. Afternoon: Go to Gangnam Station, stroll around Gangnam Underground Street and nearby, go to Samseong Station, and go to COEX Aquarium (a must-go!) Evening: Visit Sam Seng Shopping Mall, Starry Sky Library and Seven Luck Casino, and have dinner. Day 4 Morning: Go to Heunghwamun, Seoul Museum of History and Gyeonghuigung Palace. Noon: Go to Namdaemun Market, have lunch, take the subway, and go to the National Museum of Korea (a must-see!) Evening: Go to Yeouido (Han River Park), take a sightseeing boat, and enjoy the night view and fireworks (online reservation is required). Day 5 Morning: Go to Sanggal Station and take a bus to the Korean Folk Village. (I personally highly recommend this attraction, which is suitable for all ages. The rides are a must-have for children! Young people can play in the haunted house!) Afternoon: Take the bus to Hongdae Shopping Street and have dinner. Day 6 Morning: Check out, store luggage, and have lunch. Noon: Go to Jongmyo Shrine (under maintenance!

Seoul is a city that never truly sleeps, where the pulse of modernity beats in sync with centuries-old traditions. As a solo traveler, I find its rhythm both exhilarating and oddly comforting—offering solitude in the midst of a crowd. Waking up early, I step onto near-empty streets, watching as the city slowly awakens. By the time the sun rises over the Han River, the subway stations are already buzzing with efficiency, an intricate web that connects the city’s districts seamlessly. Here, being alone never feels lonely. The city moves with me, and I move with it. The contrasts fascinate me. In Insadong, I wander past hanok tea houses, where time seems to pause over a cup of persimmon tea. Just a few stops away in Gangnam, neon lights flicker over the relentless traffic, and glass skyscrapers tower over designer boutiques. I marvel at how a place can embody both calm and chaos, tradition and ambition, all within the same breath. The best part of traveling solo in Seoul? The freedom. I set my own pace—whether it’s an impromptu hike up Bukhansan before the city stirs or a quiet evening stroll along the Cheonggyecheon Stream, where the water mirrors the city lights. No rush, no compromises, just me and the city. I’ve come to appreciate the little things here: the efficiency of T-Money cards, the unspoken etiquette in subway lines, the soft kindness of an old shopkeeper who helps me with my broken Korean. Even in the vastness of Seoul, there are always moments of warmth. By 9 PM, I wrap up my day, content but never quite done exploring. Because in a city like Seoul, every corner holds a new discovery—one that feels personal, meant just for me.

Visiting the National Palace Museum of Korea is a profound journey filled with history and culture. The museum showcases precious artifacts from the Korean dynasties, ranging from exquisite ceramics and metalwork to ancient paintings and calligraphy. Each exhibit reflects Korea's rich history and artistic achievements. The museum's design is modern and spacious, providing a comfortable viewing space that allows me to appreciate each artifact in detail. What impressed me the most were the well-preserved royal utensils and garments, vividly showcasing the court life of the Joseon Dynasty. The entire museum's atmosphere is both solemn and captivating, deepening my understanding of Korea's long-standing cultural traditions and historical background. This visit was not only an appreciation of art but also an in-depth understanding of Korean history.

#favouriteitinerary Tucked away near a car park on the western side of Gyeongbokgung Palace, an unforgettable panorama unfolds, offering a unique perspective that blends history and nature. Here, the meticulously crafted details of Gyeongbokgung's royal architecture meet the rugged, rocky slopes of Inwangsan Mountain. The mountain, known for its unique rock formations and sweeping views of Seoul, provides a dramatic backdrop to the palace's serene courtyards and pavilions. The contrast between the smooth, tiled roofs and the rough, natural texture of the mountain creates a visually striking scene. Depending on the season, the slopes of Inwangsan might be adorned with vibrant foliage, or dusted with snow, adding another layer of depth to the view. The discovery of this vista, seemingly hidden in plain sight near a practical parking area, allows for a moment of quiet contemplation, inviting visitors to appreciate the harmonious relationship between the built environment and the natural landscape of Seoul. #travel #staycation #seoul #korea
