Gyeongbokgung Palace

 Gyeongbokgung Palace is a palace where kings lived during the Joseon Dynasty.

It's a space where the king lived and ruled the country.

It is the largest remaining palace in Korea.

There are a lot of stories left.

I think you already know some of stories.

you has seen stories by variety of movie, drama.

Because It is set in many traditional Korean dramas.

recently famous drama is "Huh Jun" in MBC

In 2013, It's remake drama.

It's a fictional story, but the famous drama is Kingdom.

In particular, it is the setting for the Korean zombie drama Kingdom.

The architectural design is also remarkably different from that of China and Japan, so it's worth seeing.

What's interesting is that it's located in the center of downtown Seoul.
It is impressive to see the contrast with modern buildings, especially high-rise buildings

While looking around this time, I took a black and white picture.
