DAY SIX:
ANYTHING GOES
anything
goes... since these was our last day, we did our personal itinerary. i
visited the two remaining palaces which were just only by foot
distance to our hostel, changgyeonggung and changdeokgung. after this, i
went to the korea's olympic stadium park.
Changgyeong
Palace is a palace located in Seoul, South Korea. Originally the Summer
Palace of the Goryeo Emperor, it later became one of the Five Grand
Palaces of the Joseon Dynasty. The palace was originally built as
"Suganggung" by King Sejong for his father, Taejong, but in 1483
renovated and enlarged by King Seongjong at which time it received its
current name. During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese built a
zoo, botanical garden, and museum on the site. In 1983 the zoo and
botanical garden were removed. Like the other Five Grand Palaces,
Changgyeonggung was heavily damaged by the Japanese.
Changdeokgung, also known as Changdeokgung Palace or Changdeok Palace, is set within a large park in Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is one of the "Five Grand Palaces" built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty. Because of its location east of Gyeongbok Palace, Changdeokgung, with Changgyeonggung, is also referred to as the "East Palace". The literal meaning of Changdeokgung is "Palace of Prospering Virtue".

nice! how much did you actually spend for the entire trip? the partner and I (well, mostly me) are hoping to go there too by the end of this year or early next year - before our daughter turns 2 so we could still have her under infant airfare. we might be doing backpacker style though so we could save money.
ReplyDelete@pahmee; around $700 for 6 days but the travel style was very, very tight on budget.
