Today I went to
Jongmyo, it’s a royal shrine for placing the tablets of deceased kings and queens of the Korean
Joseon Dynasty.
The shrine is a very nice place with beautiful scenery, a lot of senior members will go there and have a good walk while breathing in fresh air.
The
Jongmyo is not as big as the other palace. There are 2 main hall here, the
Jeongjeon and the
Yeongnyeongjeon.
Jeongjeon is the first and main hall while
Yeongnyeongjeon was build when
Jeongjeon could no longer accommodate any more tablets.
At the northern part of
Jongmyo there’s a overpass link to
Chang Gyeong Gung, it’s a palace right next to
Jongmyo, so we can go to
Chang Gyeong Gung directly from
Jongmyo.
The
Chang Gyeong Gung is again another palace in Seoul, the
Jongmyo was actually a part of the
Chang Gyeong Gung, it was when the Japanese invaded and they build a road in between to separate both
Chang Gyeong Gung and
Jongmyo.
The main entrance of
Chang Gyeong Gung is not as nice as the other palaces I visited before, mostly because there are renovation here, and there are no ceremony held in here also.
But there’s a very nice lake in this palace, there are ducks and
Koi fish inside the lake also.
Some where at the palace there’s a very beautiful white greenhouse here.
At night me and my brother went to
Gwang Hwa Mun for the
Soul City Tour.
The
Soul City Tour is a bus ride to bring us around the Seoul, drop us at the
Seoul Tower for like 15 minutes, then start going back.
The tour is actually not very bad, you get to see
Hangan and it beautiful bridge throughout the tour.
