Gyeongbok Palace


Gyeongbok Palace or Gyeongbokgung is the the main Palace built during Joseon dynasty. It is the biggest of the five Grand Palaces. The location is adjacent to the Korea National Folk Museum.



The above is an artificial lake surrounding Gyeonghoeru Pavilion (on the right), a place used by the King to hold important banquets during Joseon dynasty.


Down below is the place where the King slept, I was told. A simple room, based on Confucius ideology of lack of clutter. The ceiling (above), however, is beautiful and colorful.
