Gyeongbokgung Palace is comparable to China's Forbidden City Museum
A must-visit for tourists interested in Korean history
Gyeongbokgung Palace served as the royal palace for the Joseon Dynasty and is still well-preserved today
Located in Jongno-gu, Seoul, it is adjacent to the National Palace Museum and the National Folk Museum, which can be visited together
The palace also offers traditional Korean clothing rentals
Visitors can wear hanbok and take photos within the palace grounds
Upon entering Gyeongbokgung Palace, I saw a group of tourists dressed in traditional hanbok, making it feel like a journey back to the Joseon era
I visited Gyeongbokgung Palace in the late afternoon
The sunset at Gyeongbokgung Palace is incredibly beautiful, and I only left the palace slowly as the staff urged us to leave after the sun had set
