Gyeongbokgung Palace



Gyeongbokgung Palace(경복궁) is the largest palace among the Five Grand Palaces. This place is so huge that I didn't manage to tour the whole place (actually I was just too tired & lazy). If you are visiting this place, you have to see the royal guard changing ceremonies. The ceremonies only happen 3 times a day so make sure you don't miss it! There are also free tour in foreign languages, do check out the website for all these timings.
