    South Korea SEOUL | Day 1 Gyeongbokgung

    Aug 21, 2017 · Leave a Comment

    South Korea Nomss Travel

    This was my first time in Seoul, South Korea. My Cathay Pacific red-eye flight landed us in Incheon International Airport. We took the shuttle to our hotel. We briefly wandered the streets, showered and headed out to explore the city in 72 hours.

    First day in Seoul we decided to get all things touristy out of the way. Gyeongbokgung Palace is easy to get to - it is located north of Gwanghwamun Square. There is a subway metro station that takes you right to the imperial palace. The construction of Gyeongbokgung Palace was completed in 1395 during the Joseon Dynasty.

    The palace was destroyed during the Japanese invasion and 1592-1598 was later rebuilt. The goal was to restore Gwanghwamun Gate and Heungnyemun Gate to their original state.
