Gyeongbokgung Bukshon is the historic district in Seoul located between two main royal palaces. Gyeongbokgung (Greatly Blessed by Heaven) is sometimes compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing. The history dates back to 1395 during the reign of Taejo, three years after the founding of the Joseon dynasty.
We walked around the palace walls at night and toured the grounds during the day. Such a spectacular place.

This short video shows Gyeongbokgung Palace. A lovely member of our church wanted to take us out to lunch. So she picked us up at our hotel and while driving to the restaurant Rick took this short video of the Palace. It was the coolest thing for us. The video isn't the best however, sorry.
