Gyeongbokgung (part 3)

Accidentally clicked on my camera button and...this is what it captured.

The 4pm ceremony called the changing of palace guards. A daily program. We barely saw a thing..^^

One of the guardians of the palace....sitting on its throne at the entrance to the royal court. I simply loved the modern and traditional mixture of the palace surrounding.

Seoul's past and present at one place.

the famous gyeonghoeru pavilion... 

another. ...pic that my button accidentally took on its own....*😮gee..

The Palace's Closed, But...Let's Take A Peep...

 Curious..curious..curious....

Freya was peeping into what's behind the closed gate of Gwanghwamun @ Gyeongbukgung..^^ 

A small Freya compared to the huge gate of Gwanghwamun. 

Again..she tried hard to see what's behind it. 

Yes...that's the closed gates of Gwanghwamun...

Freya's Historical Day Out!!

What a day. The sky's blue. Not a single cloud visible.

but.... Gyeongbuk Palace was CLOSED!!! 

we were about to explore the palace only to find that the palace was closed!!!

so..to make up for it...we just circled the palace around...and  took some pictures. 

Luckily..Freya was still as cheerful as she was ... 

even...when I told her that the palace was closed!!! 

oops....Bless You! 

Now..let's explore the palace's vicinity.

A contrasting blend of Freya's pink jacket and the white bricks of the palace... 

Encountering a what looked to be a chimney....at National Palace Museum. 

way to spend a day, right, Freya? 

I guess...she kind of enjoyed it... 

Outside the walled palace.... 

then..we're ready to go the main entrance... 

which turned out to be quite far..and we got to walk around the walled palace..... 

until we reached the closed gate of Gwanghwamun. Yes, the palace WAS officially closed..on the day we went there.

Should've learnt some information before leaving, Suray.!!!
