| Gyeongbokgung Palace |
|
|
The Gyeongbokgung Palace served at various times as the main palace of the Joseon kingdom. With Mt. Bugaksan to its rear and the Street of Six Ministries to its front, it becomes the center of urban planning in the royal capital. Gyeongbokgung is Seouls most prominent palace. Although situated in the middle of the city, once inside the gates of the palace, you quickly forget the hustle and bustle of city life. What is particularly appealing about walking through the site is that there¡¯s lots of greenery, a sight becoming an increasing rarity in downtown Seoul.

| National Folk Museum |
|
|
Located inside Gyeongbokgung Palace, the National Folk Museum is a good place to obtain an overview and introduction of Korean history, focusing on the Joseon Dynasty. The three main exhibition halls showcase the History of Korean Lifestyles, Livelihood, Arts & Crafts, Living Essentials and the Korean Life Cycle. From traditional Korean food to different types of houses (shingle, Jeju-do and Andong style), you¡¯ll be introduced to the breadth of Korean history from a prosaic respective. Also fairly new to the museum in Gallery 3 is the Gallery of Donations, which exhibits different private collections from donors. There¡¯s also a small Childrens Folk Museum located in the main building that features games, activities and a playroom.

| Jogyesa Temple |
|
|
Jogyesa Temple is the center of Zen Buddhism in Korea, and is famous for being located in the city. From the busy streets of Jongno, follow the road towards Anguk Subway Station, and you will see Jogyesa Temple. The first thing you will notice at the temple are the lovely trees. These locust trees and baeksong trees in front of the Daeungjeon, the main temple building, are about 500 years old. One locust tree is about 26-meter high, and in the summer, provides a large amount of shade to enhance the mood of the temple. The baeksong tree is designated as a Natural Monument. The Daeungjeon building is a stately building built in 1938. The Dancheong is particularly beautiful with all the different colors painted on it, and inside the building is the statue of Seokgamoni. In front of the Daeungjeon building, you can also see a seven-storey stone pagoda containing Jinsinsari.

| Korean Folk Village |
|
Set in a natural environment occupying approximately 243 acres, visitors can experience the natural atmosphere with over 260 traditional houses reminiscent of the late Joseon Dynasty, including various household goods from different regions. All these features have been relocated and restored to provide visitors with a broad understanding of Korean food, clothing, and housing style of the past. About twenty workshops, various handicrafts such as pottery, baskets, winnows, bamboo wares, wooden wares, paper, brass wares, knots, fans, musical instruments, iron wares and embroidery are practiced. In the Korean Folk Village, where the customs and lifestyles of the past generations have been carefully preserved, various lifestyles prevalent during the Joseon Dynasty can be seen. You can visit the Folk Museum as well as the Art Museum (scheduled to open) to see and learn about the essence of Korean culture and folk customs, which are not suitable for display and re-creating in the open-air setting. Korean Folk Village is also the filming location for the famous movie Scandal as well as the TV miniseries Daejanggeum.
