just came back from my byutipulll trip with my sisters and my friends. I hope I can go to Korea again next year..
on the first day, -1 degree Celsius was surprised us a lot! We thought spring will be so warm, but its so cold instead of warm!
after check in, take a shower etc etc etc, we went to Gyeongbokgung!
You can see this kind of view as soon as you go out from Gyeongbokgung Station Exit no. 5.
(and you can see palace-theme-station in Gyeongbokgung Station, its so beautiful)
Gyeongbokgung Palace is also commonly referred to as the “Northern Palace” because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeongheegung (Western Palace).
Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful and remains the largest of all five palaces.

If you want your visit being memorable, try to visit when they have royal guard changing ceremony.
Please note this daily schedule, and make sure you come like 10 minutes before.
Sumunjang (Royal Guard) Changing Ceremony:
10:00, 13:00, 15:00 / three times a day / 20 minutes per ceremony
Gwanghwamun Gate Guard-on-Duty Performance:
11:00, 14:00, 16:00 / three times a day / 10 minutes per ceremony
The Royal Guard-Changing Ceremony is a great opportunity to experience a rare traditional scene in Korea. Be sure to bring a camera to take lots of pictures. The guards’ splendid costumes, with their brilliant primary colors, are a real pleasure to see.
Last but not least, you can take picture with the real gate guard after the ceremony finished. We decided to take some of pics with them
