The Royal Guard Changing Ceremony

Consistently expressionless and solemnly observing the ceremony is enough to arouse the curiosity of many foreign tourists.

Gyeongbok Palace

Gyeongbokgung Palace is one of Seoul's representative palaces with more than 600 years of history and boasts the largest scale and architectural beauty. During the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, many buildings were burnt down and restored once. However, during the Japanese Colonial Period, 90% of Gyeongbokgung Palace was destroyed by Japan. However, Gyeongbokgung Palace still has the original shape of Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond, the representative structures of the Joseon Dynasty, and the Woldae and statues of Geunjeongjeon Hall represent the sculptural art of the time, making it the number one tourist attraction. Although many buildings were damaged by fire and foreign influence, the restoration work continues to preserve the value of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
