Seoul cultural tour ....

On 16th september we started off by 8:30hrs to Gyeongbok palace which is in seoul.














Gyeongbok palace was built at the beginning of the Chosun Dynasty when the Yi Dynasty moved the capital to Seoul. This palace remained the main seat of power for Korea kings throughout much of the time to the present. Gyeongbok means Shining Happiness. It was built in 1395. It was destroyed during the Japanese invasion of 1592 and left in ruins for over 250 years. Starting in 1865, it was rebuilt to its original grandeur. When Korea was annexed by Japan in 1910, most of the 200 building on the palace grounds were torn down by the Japanese, leaving only a dozen structures.






















From 1399-1549, seven of twelve kings were enthroned here
