The Blue House, the bosom of the people 🍃

I was so curious about the opening of Cheong Wa Dae! The building's color scheme is so luxurious and beautiful, with a sophisticated touch of traditional Korean color that is truly impressive. The natural colors are so beautiful that color correction was hardly necessary 🥺 🏷️The most curious place was the main building of Cheong Wa Dae (2-7). A space for the president's official duties and diplomatic meetings. 🏷️The presidential residence (8-9). A living space for the president and their family. I couldn't go inside, but I could roughly see through the window... Located right in front of Gyeongbokgung, visiting Cheong Wa Dae and Gyeongbokgung at the same time is the best itinerary👍 📍Cheong Wa Dae 📍1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul ⏱9 AM - 6 PM (last admission at 5:30 PM) ❗️Online reservation is mandatory. On-site applications available from June 12th. (Eligible: elderly people aged 65 or older, people with disabilities, and foreigners) #Hotspot #Cheong Wa Dae #Cheong Wa Dae tour #Jung-gu #Jung-gu trip #Seoul trip #Seoul hotspot #Must-visit places in Seoul

‘Cheong Wa Dae’ is now open to the public

‘Cheong Wa Dae’, which translates into Blue House in Korean and functions as equivalent to the White House in the US is now open to the public after 74 years with Yoon Suk-yeol taking office as South Korea’s new president. Before opening up to the public beginning this May, Cheng Wa Dae served as an executive office and official residence of the president of South Korea. Located 10min of walking distance from the Gyeongbok Palace Station (Line 3), you must reserve online first to be able to visit. #korea #seoul #historicculture #triptoseoul #cheongwadae #bluehouse #historicalsites #thingstodo

The Blue House in South Korea: A meeting point of history and modernity.

Located at No. 1 Sejong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, the Blue House is a building that carries deep historical and modern political significance in South Korea. As the official residence of the President of the Republic of Korea, the Blue House is not only the heart of Korean politics, but also an important symbol of Korean history and culture. The history of the Blue House can be traced back to the Goryeo Dynasty, when it was originally a detached palace. With the changes of history, the Blue House was incorporated into the back garden of Gyeongbokgung Palace during the Joseon Dynasty, and buildings such as Longwu Hall, Qingnongzhai, and the martial arts field were built, becoming an important place for royal activities. However, the modern significance of the Blue House began during the Japanese colonial period, when the Japanese colonists destroyed all the buildings in the back garden of Gyeongbokgung Palace except Wuyunge, and established the Governor's Mansion of Korea on its basis. After Korea's independence, the Blue House gradually evolved into the political center of Korea. After the establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948, the first president, Lee Seung-wan, named it "Jingwutai", but this name was not used for long. In 1960, after the second president, Yun Bo-shan, took office, in order to avoid the word "wu" and correspond to the White House in the United States, he renamed this white-walled and blue-tiled building "Blue House", which has since become the place where successive Korean presidents work and live. The main building of the Blue House is the core part of the Blue House. It not only has the president's residence, office, reception hall, and conference room, but also has facilities such as the secretary's office, guard room, and guest house. The design of the main building fully demonstrates the aesthetic concept of Korean traditional architecture, especially its blue-tiled roof and curved design, which has become the most representative symbol of the Blue House. There are 150,000 blue tiles, each of which can be used for more than 100 years, which is not only beautiful but also durable. In addition to the main building, the Blue House also includes a guest house, a green garden, a Wuchun flower garden, and seven palaces. The guest house is a place specially prepared for foreign guests, and its majestic appearance and solemn atmosphere are impressive. The Green Garden and Wuchun Flower Garden are good places for walking and leisure. They are planted with various flowers and trees. Especially the Wuchun Flower Garden is colorful from July to October. The Seven Palaces are seven traditional-style palaces and elegant courtyards from the Joseon era. Since it was opened to the public in 2001, it has attracted a large number of tourists to visit. The historical and political significance of the Blue House makes it a focus of attention for the Korean people. However, with the changes of the times and the increasing demand of the people for an open and transparent government, the issue of opening the Blue House has always been a hot topic in society. In recent years, the Korean government has gradually increased the opening of the Blue House, allowing more people to have the opportunity to feel this building where history and modernity are intertwined. On March 20, 2022, South Korea's president-elect Yoon Seok-yeol announced that the South Korean presidential palace would be moved from the Blue House to the Ministry of National Defense building in Yongsan District, Seoul. This decision marked the end of the "Blue House era" that lasted for 74 years. With the entry of President Yoon Seok-yeol and the full opening of the Blue House to the public, this building has gradually transformed from a power center to an open park and historical and cultural landmark. Today's Blue House not only carries South Korea's profound historical heritage and political significance, but has also become a good place for people to relax and sightsee. Whether it is to appreciate the beauty of the Blue House or to understand the history and culture of South Korea, the Blue House is a place not to be missed. Here, people can feel the unique charm of the interweaving of Korean history and modern political vitality.

Seoul 3-Day Tour

Went to Korea in March🇰🇷, now catching up on homework. Let's talk about my Seoul 3-day itinerary today 🗺️【Itinerary】 D1⃣️Landing in Seoul——Shopping & Eating in Myeong-dong (Myeong-dong Cathedral)——Namsan Seoul Tower——Myeong-dong Comic Street D2⃣️ Ewha Womans University——Deoksugung Palace——Starfield Library——Gwangjang Market——Cheonggyecheon Stream——Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) D3⃣️Gyeongbokgung Palace——Blue House——Bukchon Hanok Village——Han River 🛌【Accommodation】 📍Recommended to stay near Myeong-dong, convenient for food, drink, and entertainment. 👍【Recommendations】 🔘Myeong-dong: Shopping and eating, fresh and youthful style, affordable prices. There's also Myeong-dong Cathedral and Comic Street. 🔘Ewha Womans University: Beautiful scenery, photogenic architecture. ❗Free, but the sign says no tourists allowed, so keep a low profile when taking photos. 🔘Deoksugung Palace: An unexpected surprise, the ticket is only 1,000 Korean won. As a secondary palace, it's much less crowded than Gyeongbokgung Palace, offering a great visiting experience with all the essential halls and thrones. The architectural style is more diverse, including Western-style buildings. 🔘Dongdaemun Design Plaza DDP: A must-visit for architecture enthusiasts and fans of Zaha Hadid. Streamlined design, photogenic inside and out, with many angles to shoot from, suitable for both wide-angle and telephoto lenses. The night view is even better. 🔘Gyeongbokgung Palace: The Korean Imperial Palace, a must-visit attraction. There's a guard change ceremony at Heungnyemun Square at 10 am and 2 pm, lasting about 15-20 minutes. 💰The ticket is 3,000 Korean won, available on-site. Payment by Visa, Mastercard, and cash is accepted, and wearing a Hanbok grants free entry. 🔘Blue House: The former presidential residence, now open for free visits. Exchange your passport for a ticket at the small booth at the entrance. Remember to pick up a guide map at the entrance, which includes a map and introduction. In addition to the main buildings, there's also the presidential residence, hiking trails, and historical relics. If you have enough time, it's worth exploring. 🙃【Complaints】 ☑️Stairs: The subway stations really have endless stairs, it's exhausting with luggage. ☑️Seoul Tower: A landmark attraction, you'll regret not going, but also regret going. I didn't encounter long queues, just felt the ticket was too expensive and not worth it. Tickets can be purchased via Alipay QR code, or look for cheaper tickets on various platforms. ☑️Gwangjang Market: First of all, there's no dining environment to speak of, it's just like a food stall. Food homogenization is serious, everywhere you look there are potato pancakes, very oily... ☑️Bukchon Hanok Village: It should be featured on travel platforms worldwide, crowded with tourists of all skin colors, really not photogenic, plus there's a hill to climb. If you want to take photos with Korean characteristics, Gyeongbokgung Palace is better, it's spacious, you can spread out, and you can always find a corner with no people to take a good shot.

Blue House

#koreatrip It was pretty nice to visit, there were many employees along the way helping you find the right path. I was very impressed how big this place was. The only thing that was stressful was that it’s quite a lot walking up hill, so if you are planning on visiting with older people, try and plan more time for walking between places. My MIL had some issues walking uphill but it was still very nice. The had plenty of resting spots so it was no issue to sit down for a bit. I would recommend it. Also please by a ticket in advance, since it can get very crowded.

The Blue House in South Korea | One Blue House, half of Korean history

🌟 Highlights: The most notable feature of the Blue House, the political center of South Korea, is its blue tiles. Some also call the Blue House the "Blue Palace," as it is the official residence and political hub of the President of the Republic of Korea. The first thing you see upon arriving at the Blue House is the blue tiles of the main building. The main building of the Blue House is backed by Bukhansan Mountain, and the blue tiles complement the curved roofline, making it very beautiful. ❤ Recommended Reason: The green lawns and endless flower gardens here are great for strolling and also where presidents plant commemorative trees. The most famous is a pine tree with a history of about 300 years. The endless flower garden is a great spot for tourists to take photos, especially during the blooming season from July to October, which is even more colorful. In addition, there are many items on display in the annex that were gifts from foreign friends to the president. Visiting here is free, and you can also buy souvenirs of the Blue House at the souvenir counter. Moreover, do not forget to visit Chilgung, which consists of seven palaces from the Joseon era with traditional styles and elegant courtyards. 👍 Most Recommended: Spring and Autumn Hall, Green Garden, Jingwu Squad 📍 Address: Hyoja-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul Special City, South Korea (1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul Special City, South Korea) 🕙 Business Hours: Open all year from 7:00 to 19:00, free admission, reserve 2 hours for a visit 🚉 Transportation Strategy: Take Subway Line 3 to Gyeongbokgung Station, exit from Exit 4, and walk for about 10 minutes ⏳ Historical Evolution: The Blue House is located in Seoul, South Korea, and the buildings in this place are not just the Blue House. Throughout Korean history, many buildings have appeared here, and the Blue House is just a part of them. Originally, this was a detached palace of the Goryeo Dynasty. Later, other buildings appeared here, and the Blue House has only been around in recent years. Let's take a look at what buildings have been established in the Blue House area and what kind of history they have. Why can it be said to encompass half of Korean history? In 1104, the Goryeo Dynasty built a detached palace in the area of today's Blue House. The so-called detached palace is simply the palace where the emperor stayed after leaving the main palace, a temporary residence for the emperor. At that time, the Goryeo kings often stayed here, and it was of great significance to the Goryeo royal family. However, this was only a temporary residence for the Goryeo kings and not the political center of Goryeo. Its influence was not particularly significant. This place became a political center during the Joseon Dynasty, which is what we refer to as the Joseon Dynasty. In 1392, Lee Seong-gye overthrew the Goryeo Dynasty and established a new regime, which was the Joseon Dynasty. In 1395, Lee Seong-gye began to build his own palace, and the area of today's Blue House was where his Gyeongbokgung Palace was built. The name "Blue House" is closely related to Gyeongbokgung Palace at that time, which I will explain later. After establishing the Joseon Dynasty, Lee Seong-gye sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to pay homage to the Ming emperor. Eventually, the Ming Taizu granted the name "Joseon" to this place, and Joseon became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The Joseon monarch was not only the ruler of Joseon but also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, equivalent to the rank of a prince. For this reason, when the Joseon kings built their palaces, they were constructed according to the standards of Ming princes. All buildings were painted in vermilion to distinguish them from the yellow used exclusively by the royal family of our country. After the establishment of Gyeongbokgung Palace, this place became the residence and office of the Joseon monarch, thus becoming the political center of Joseon. 📝tips: In autumn, the fallen leaves add a romantic touch. On the other side, there are modern art galleries such as Geumho and famous coffee shops with rich aromas. To appreciate the night scenery, the best place is the restaurants here. The interior decoration of the restaurants is very modern, including a glass wall that allows a clear view of the stone walls of Gyeongbokgung Palace and the beautiful sky. Going from here, before reaching the Blue House, there is Samcheong-dong Park, which has many famous restaurants, Korean food restaurants, and art galleries. There is also a small shop specializing in sujebi soup, which is the most famous snack here. Past this, at the end of the road is Samcheong Park. There are many trees here, making it very suitable for walking. When visiting the Blue House, be sure not to forget to take a stroll on this path. The environment is beautiful and is the most characteristic place in Korea.

Seoul, South Korea② | The Presidential Residence Cheong Wa Dae and Gyeongbokgung Palace

🎡🎡🎡 Main Features: Korean Drama Scenes, Presidential Residence, Review of the History of the Joseon Dynasty (Gyeongbokgung Palace) 🔝 During the Spring Festival of 2015 when we visited, Cheong Wa Dae was still the presidential residence of South Korea, so it was not completely open to the public but only partially. Cheong Wa Dae, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the National Folk Museum of Korea should be considered as one scenic area, and it takes a morning to visit the whole place. After the Spring Festival of 2022, the current presidential residence has been relocated, and the main building of Cheong Wa Dae and the interior of the presidential residence are now open for public visits. Time flies, it's been 8 years already, OMG. Cheong Wa Dae is located in Hyoja-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul Special City, South Korea. It was once a detached palace of the Goryeo Dynasty, and in 1426, after the Joseon Dynasty established its capital in Hanyang (now Seoul), it was used as the rear garden of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Buildings such as Longwu Hall, Qingnongzhai, and a martial arts training ground were constructed, and a piece of land for the king's personal farming was also opened. Cheong Wa Dae was newly built during the presidency of Roh Tae-woo. The main building of Cheong Wa Dae once served as the presidential residence of South Korea. It housed the president's office, reception hall, conference room, living quarters, and the annex building included the secretariat, security room, and guesthouse. 📺 The filming location of the Korean drama 'Rooftop Prince', which is why it left a deep impression. If the weather is good, the photos are very beautiful, with Seoul's blue skies☁️. Being close to the sea is great; pollution and such are blown away quickly, unlike our Chengdu's big basin.

The Blue House, Gyeongbokgung Palace, the past and present of South Korea!

Visiting South Korea, the Blue House is a must-see! Today, my journey in South Korea with my friend Xiao Wu is becoming more delightful. As we step into Seoul, it feels like traveling through time, caught between ancient palaces and the modern political center. Seoul is a city where history and modernity coexist, and it is also an important inheritor of Eastern culture. In the early morning, passing through the bustling streets, we arrive at Gyeongbokgung Palace. This is undoubtedly a solemn and simple palace, as if narrating the long history of Korea. Walking among the green bricks and tiles, one feels refreshed and delighted. The royal architecture's splendor seems to sketch the most wonderful patterns, where history twists and turns vividly, allowing us to experience the spread and profound heritage of ancient Eastern civilization. With the afternoon breeze on our faces, we visit the Blue House. This is the center of power in South Korea, bearing the weight and direction of the nation. Although the power center's office has moved elsewhere and become an exhibition hall, being here feels like sensing the pulse of politics. Under this area of green bricks and blue tiles, the future direction of Korea was once established. No matter how things change, every decision made here was once part of the nation's actions. Behind this Blue House lies the expectations and hopes of countless Korean people, as well as their longing for peace. With a myriad of thoughts, leaning against the wall, we overlook the royal mountain and the urban forest in the distance. At this moment, it feels like we have traveled through a thousand years, witnessing the blend of the ancient and the modern. Xiao Wu sincerely marvels at the 'Korean Imperial Palace' and the uniqueness of this great Eastern country, while I guide him more—to appreciate the culture and civilization here, not to simply compare, but to view everything with an open, inclusive, and appreciative eye during our travels. For these are all witnesses to Korea's history. Here lies the source of Korean cultural and political heritage and the starting point for showing a new chapter to the world. Strolling between the past and present of Seoul, we witness the city's continuous forward strides. Here, history and the future intertwine, with palaces and the political center complementing each other. In this brief article, the Blue House, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, Donggung Palace, Gyeonghuigung Palace, and the Jongmyo Shrine, among others, have given us a preliminary understanding of the past and present of the Joseon Dynasty, and also let us perceive the unique charm of the city of Seoul.

Lesser-known destinations in Seoul definitely include the recently opened Cheong Wa Dae

I have a particular interest in the modern history of Korea, especially the history after the 'Miracle on the Han River', so watching the recent 'Spring in Seoul' was especially touching. This place, which has appeared countless times in Korean dramas, I finally got to see it in person. You need to make a reservation in advance for the Cheong Wa Dae restaurant before 2024 (free admission), but currently, you can almost go without one in the morning. I took a bus to Hyoja-dong and then walked for about 5 minutes to get there, and at the main entrance, someone will ask if you have a reservation (Koreans need to make one), if not, just show your passport, they scan it, give you a wristband, and you can enter. Cheong Wa Dae is now fully open, and almost all the places where the president used to live and work are open to the public (since President Yoon Seok-youl does not work or live here anymore), so there are quite a few places to visit, but not all rooms inside every building are accessible. For example, you can only walk around the residential area, not enter the buildings. It takes about 2 hours to walk around the whole place, and the ups and downs make it quite a nice visit, mainly locals come here. If you plan to go to Gyeongbokgung Palace or Samcheong-dong, you can actually visit Cheong Wa Dae first, then take the bus from the entrance for 2 stops to Gyeongbokgung Palace, which is very convenient (1 stop to Samcheong-dong).

Cheong Wa Dae | Foreigners can also visit now~

Remember to definitely bring your passport✔️ After entering, register and the staff will give you a long paper ticket which you can use to enter. The whole browsing process takes about half an hour to an hour to complete the visit. The scenery is still nice, and it is closed every Tuesday‼️ ps: The stairs look grand, but you can only take photos at fixed positions📷 There are Chinese introduction boards inside, and the entire presidential residence is very Korean-style. The courtyard style is great👍

【Gyeongbokgung Palace｜Cheong Wa Dae】The cultural tour of South Korea really has no cultural value

🏛️【Gyeongbokgung Palace - Cheong Wa Dae Guide】 ⭐Visitor Guide: Free admission to Gyeongbokgung Palace in Hanbok There are tickets for sale at the entrance: 3000 won each Cheong Wa Dae is free, but you need to bring your passport! Can't bring lighters and other flammable and explosive items 📍Actually it's really small. If you come to see the architecture, it's really unnecessary because there's no architecture worth seeing. Gyeongbokgung Palace is like an unpopular remote palace in the Forbidden City And if it rains, it's really painful, all muddy roads... But if the weather is good or it snows, there should still be a feeling The most interesting thing about Cheong Wa Dae may be to see the portraits of past presidents, it feels like visiting a prison😂 Recommend Gwanghwamun - Gyeongbokgung Palace - Cheong Wa Dae half a day is enough because they are really small. You can climb the mountain at Cheong Wa Dae, there are Buddha statues, but we didn't go

The Blue House

Was hot weather but amazing experience to see and feel the Blue House in Korea “Cheong Wa Dae” which was official office and residence for Korean Presidents from 1948 to 2022.

Cheongwade (Blue house)

Cheong Wa Dae, also known as the Blue House in English, is a public park that formerly served as the executive office and official residence of the president of South Korea from 1948 to 2023. It is located in the Jongno district of the South Korean capital Seoul.

Blue House, the presidential residence of South Korea.

Cheongwadae is the presidential residence of South Korea, located in the northwest of Seoul, facing Gyeongbokgung Palace and backed by Bugaksan and Inwangsan mountains. It is the political center of South Korea. The winding path extends from Gyeongbokgung Palace to Cheongwadae, with the palace's stone wall on the left and an art museum on the right, making it a famous walking path. The Cheongwadae consists of the main building, the guesthouse, the green garden, the infinite flower garden, and the Seven Palaces, all of which are built according to the traditional Korean architectural model. On the right side of the main building is the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, with a roof made of traditional ceramic tiles for holding press conferences; on the left side of the main building is the guesthouse, used for receiving foreign guests.
