Day 7 - Seoul

Gyeongbuk Palace
"The palace is a majestic place which portrays the significance of the royal family in Korea. Although most of the buildings in the palace were destroyed during the Japanese invasion in world war 2, the palace still remains a breathtaking sight to behold. 

At the time of our visit, the palace is still under reconstruction. Exhibitions on the traditions and culture of Korea in the past serve as an eye opener and surprisingly many of them are still practice till today but with a few modifications. We ended the palace tour with a visit of the king's and queen's palace which look splendid in every perspective with detailed carvings of dragons and paintings etched on the walls and rooftops. 

Overall, the palace tour is an enriching, fruitful and fun tour!"

After lunch, we went shopping at Hongik University Street and Myungdong Street. These shopping districts offered a different kind of fashion than Dongdaemun. Later in the evening, we were treated to the highly entertaining and brilliant NANTA show.
