Side Entrance to Gyeongbok Palace

This is a really cool angle taken from the right side entrance. There is a moat between this gate and the palace seen inside. It almost makes you want to travel back in time to see the palace during the Chosun Dynasty.

More palace pictures where posted on May first.

Gyeongbok Palace, Seoul Korea

This is a tranquil image of Gyeonbok Palace located in Seoul Korea. The history of this place goes back to 1394 when King Taejo of Chosun built the palace. The buildings on the palace grounds are beautiful and the paint is intricate. It is a must see for anyone visiting Seoul.

The second view shows the cherry blossoms in the early stages of blooming. It is interesting trying to imagine the palace when it was used as the main palace of the Chosun Dynasty.
