Original Text
Gyeongboo Palace is one of the five major palaces in Seoul (old Seoul) in South Korea during the Korean Dynasty (1392-1910), and is also the main palace of the Korean Dynasty, covering an area of 12.6 Wanping (57.75 hectares), consisting of 330 buildings, a total of 5,792 rooms (four pillars in ancient times). It is the palace of the new dynasty built by the ancestor of the Korean dynasty, Taizu Li Chenggui (reigned from 1392 to 1398), which was built during the relocation of the capital of the former Koryo in Hongwu, North Korea, in 1395, and has a 500-year history. The Gyeongboo Palace is named after the ancient Chinese Book of Poetry, which contains the verse "Gentleman for thousands of years, Jier Jingfu", because it is located in the north of Seoul, also known as "Beiyu".

    It has three courtyards, one within another for different with a central palace in each. The place is big and houses two museum as well. It will take 3-4 hours at minimum to explore it fully.Don’t miss the Royal guard parade and ceremonies

    One of the finest (must visit) places in Seoul to witness ancient/historical times of Korean history and culture! Very well maintained. Easily accessible from metro station. Loved walking around the palace premises and witness the historical vibes. It feels so good to be here if you’re a history loving person!Also, the admission is discounted for those with physical disabilities and free to those wearing Hanboks (the traditional Korean attire than can be rented just outside of the palace at various shops).
