In the palace, I could feel a different atmosphere and culture. Many foreigners and Koreans were wearing Hanbok. so I could feel that I am in the Joseon dynasty. The palace itself, the beautiful trees, and the architecture were breathtaking. And the night scenery was indescribable. the weather was quite cold so it would be better to take a jacket with you to wear on your Hanbok.
