South Korea 26 April 2013: Gyeongbokgung

Gyeongbokgung, the royal palace was a long history since 1395. It was burned, abandoned, reconstructed  destroyed again and restored again. I had been to the palace for my last few visit to Seoul but today was the first time I joined a guided tour. It was indeed insightful and I gained a new respect for the palace and its people.









Its raining flowers! We saw a beautiful sight at National Folk Museum of Korea. A gust of strong wind send the sukura petals shedding off the trees like snow.





For lunch, we went to Tosokchon 토속촌 which was near the palace. We have Ginseng Chicken Soup (Samgyetang). It was sumptuous and full with flavours!
