The Palace is very interesting because it has beautiful architecture and beautiful views including pools, natural views, and art galleries. In addition, there is also a National Palace Museum inside the Palace.
What’s interesting here is that the Changing of the Guard Ceremony of the Palace is a grand performance. In addition to watching the performance, tourists can dress in hanbok to look retro and understand the atmosphere of Korea in the old days. It’s an interesting activity.
