First attempt to visit
Gyeongbokgung Palace was in 2014 but it was closed that day when we dropped by. In 2017, finally went inside to take a look. Built in 1395 and is the largest palace when compared against the Eastern and Western palaces.
On our way to the palace, we dropped by Yesul Gimbap for some snacks.

Afterwhich, we strolled over to the palace. Nice weather and clear blue skies.

While many were taking pictures of Gwanghwamun, the main gate to the palace, it was also worth admiring the plants outside of the gate. There were some tourists in traditional costumes, which I think other tourists may want to take a photo of them as well.

Coincidentally, there was some special event going-on in the palace ground so we also 'kaypoh' to watch. Lots of people in soldier costumes, some in palace attendants costume and the King was there as well!

Nice to walk around the palace grounds and many were just looking for that right spot for OOTD.
